The Nikkei 225 Index fell 0.2% to close at 66,132 while the broader Topix Index rose 0.15% to 4,117 on Thursday, with Japanese shares lacking clear direction amid mixed performances across major technology stocks. Investors also responded to Nvidia’s strong sales outlook, which offered fresh evidence that spending on AI infrastructure is likely to remain resilient.

Meanwhile, Kioxia Holdings surged 5% following reports that it is building a new chipmaking plant in northern Japan, expanding production capacity to meet rising AI-related demand for storage.
