The Nikkei 225 index in Tokyo fell by nearly 2% today, losing over 1,244 points to close at 61,409.29. The sharp decline was triggered by disappointing earnings from major tech stocks, leading to profit-taking by investors. Additionally, rising bond yields weighed on market sentiment. The TOPIX also saw a slight decrease, reflecting a cautious outlook as investors react to quarterly financial results and macroeconomic pressures.
