The Nikkei Stock Average opened the afternoon session at 64,436.62 yen, down 1,985.98 yen from the previous day's close, widening its losses from the morning session. Escalating tensions in the Middle East, coupled with the Trump administration's announcement of new tariffs, weighed on sentiment and intensified risk aversion. Among the most actively traded stocks by value, Kioxia Holdings, Taiyo Yuden, Disco, and SoftBank Group declined, while the nonferrous metals and electrical equipment sectors led the losers. On the other hand, Tokio Marine, Nippon Yusen, and Nippon Steel rose, with pharmaceuticals and insurance among the top gaining sectors. The Nikkei's 75-day moving average, situated around the 64,300 yen level, is seen as a downside support line.
