Japan's Nikkei falls 5% on Wall Street's sharp decline
Apr 10, 2025 5:50 PM

TOKYO, April 11 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei share average slumped 5% in early trade on

Friday, tracking Wall Street's sharp losses amid worries over uncertainty about the trade war's

potential economic fallout.

As of 0012 GMT, the Nikkei was down 5.1% at 32,855.56. The broader Topix

slipped 4.7% to 2,419.32.

All three major U.S. stock indexes suffered steep losses overnight, forfeiting much of the

previous session's gains as growing concerns over the escalating Washington-Beijing trade

face-off dampened optimism over upbeat economic data and U.S.-Europe trade negotiations.

The Nikkei jumped 9% on Thursday after U.S. President Donald Trump declared an immediate

90-day tariff pause for many countries.

On Friday, Uniqlo-brand owner Fast Retailing ( FRCOF ) lost 3.87%. Chip-related stocks Tokyo

Electron ( TOELF ) and Advantest ( ADTTF ) slipped 5% and 7.5%, respectively.

All of the Tokyo Stock Exchange's 33 industry sub-indexes fell, with refiners

falling 6.6% to become the worst performer.
