After a holiday, the Nikkei 225 stock average fell sharply on the Tokyo market on November 4, at one point dropping more than 2,000 yen during trading. Large fundraising deals by major US technology companies raised doubts about the sustainability of AI investment, and AI and semiconductor shares were widely sold in Tokyo. Market observers note a strong view that the Democratic Party has the upper hand in the US midterm elections, which has increased concern about tighter AI regulation.
