Overview
- The Nikkei 225 closed at ¥60,819.36, down ¥429.23 from the previous session following the intraday reversal on Nov. 12.
- Japanese outlets reported that Nvidia's board was preparing to remove CEO Jensen Huang, and markets reacted to those media reports without a company confirmation.
- The TOPIX finished higher at 3,937.33, reflecting a split market because the two indexes weight stocks differently and large U.S. tech-linked names are concentrated in the Nikkei 225.
- Trading was brisk with volume around 2,727,540,000 shares, indicating active repositioning by investors as the headlines spread.
- The move could prolong volatility while traders await any official statement from Nvidia and follow overseas market responses, with New York trading opening little changed on the same day.
