TOKYO -- Shares of Japanese tech companies dropped in morning trading on Tuesday, extending losses from the previous day amid a global selloff of AI stocks spurred by Chinese AI chatbot DeepSeek.
The plunge in Japan-listed tech stocks comes a week after many of the same listings were buoyed by Stargate, the $500 billion AI infrastructure project in the U.S. led by the Japanese tech investor SoftBank Group, OpenAI and Oracle that President Donald Trump has touted.
