- The Nikkei 225 fell more than 1,100 yen at its morning low on Nov. 7 and briefly slipped under the 50,000 level.
- By the morning close, the index stood at 49,783.49, down 1,100.19 yen, with the TOPIX at 3,272.08 after a 41.37‑point decline.
- The market later recovered part of the drop, finishing the day at 50,276.37, a loss of 607.31 yen from the prior close.
- Selling focused on semiconductor and AI‑linked names, with outsized declines reported in Advantest and SoftBank Group.
- The pullback followed a U.S. tech-led drop tied to softer labor indicators and came after sharp swings that took the Nikkei above 52,000 on Oct. 31, a roughly 2,200‑yen two‑day slide on Nov. 4–5, and a rebound on Nov. 6.
