Nikkei Index Hits 3-Month Low

Global financial markets have once again become the center of attention. On Tuesday, the Nikkei index closed at its lowest level in the last three months. This trend was mainly fueled by a decline in the shares of large technology companies.

The drop was caused by a number of factors, among which a significant reduction in demand for electronic production, triggered by the pandemic, as well as general negative trends in global markets. The sharp decline in the value of shares of companies such as SoftBank Group Corp, Tencent Holdings Ltd, and others was reflected in the overall dynamics of the Nikkei.

"We can see that investors are reacting to current economic events with all seriousness, and this leads to surprising sell-offs on the market. It will be interesting to observe the development of the situation in the near future," noted financial analyst Hiroyuki Takeuchi.

This ongoing momentum of the Nikkei has caused uncertainty among investors, and many specialists are calling for caution in the near future, as it is difficult to predict how the dynamics of global financial markets will evolve in conditions of high unpredictability.
