Nikkei 225 1.5-month low par — AI slowdown ke dar se chip stocks dhadaam

Japan ka Nikkei 63,492.99 par close hua, 518 points gira — SoftBank 10.7% down aur chip index 2.62% gira jab AI development slow karne ki appeal ne market ko dara diya.

01 / Kya hua

Kya hua

14 September 2026 ko Japan ka Nikkei 225 0.81% gir kar 63,492.99 par band hua, July 30 ke baad lowest — Semiconductor Index 2.62% aur SoftBank 10.7% gira.

Japan ka Nikkei 225 Monday, 14 September ko second day bhi gira — 518 points down ho kar 63,492.99 par close hua, jo 30 July ke baad ka lowest level hai. Sell-off ka trigger AI spending slowdown ka fear bana. Anthropic ke CEO Dario Amodei ne industry ko bola ki advanced AI models ka development thoda slow karo, safety par focus karo — iske baad chip stocks par panic selling aayi.

SoftBank Group jo OpenAI ka bada investor hai, uska stock 10.7% gir kar 5,839 yen par close hua — intraday mein 13% tak gir gaya tha jab OpenAI ne bola is saal IPO nahi hoga. Nikkei ka Semiconductor Index 2.62% gira, sabse zyada loss. Advantest 2% se zyada gira jo Nikkei ka sabse bada weight hai, Tokyo Electron 1% down, Disco aur Lasertec bhi 1% se zyada gire.

Asar sirf Japan tak nahi raha — South Korea ka Kospi 3.3% gir kar 6,684 par aaya, SK Hynix aur Samsung dono 4% se zyada gire. Taiwan ka Taiex 0.7% down aur TSMC 1.2% gira. Crude prices Middle East tension se high aur Fed, Bank of England aur Bank of Japan ki meetings ne sentiment aur kharab kiya, kyunki future earnings ka discount rate badh gaya.

Toh investor ko worry karna chahiye kya? SMBC Trust ke Masahiro Yamaguchi ke according kuch adjustment ho sakta hai but bada crash nahi — AI demand rukne wali nahi. Short term mein chip aur AI linked stocks volatile rahenge, lekin AI adoption ki long-term story abhi intact hai. SIP aur diversified portfolio wale panic sell se bachein, fresh buying se pehle chip sector ka valuation check karein.

Advantest aur Tokyo Electron jaise chip heavyweights AI server aur memory demand par chalte hain. AI progress slow hone se future chip orders aur earnings multiples pehle girte hain — isliye semiconductor index sabse zyada gira.

“There could be some adjustment... but I do not think it will necessarily lead to a major decline in stock prices as this does not mean that demand will stop expanding.”
