The Nikkei stock index experienced a slight decline on October 14, closing at 67,744, down 33 points, as an initial rally in semiconductor and artificial intelligence-related shares diminished later in the day prior to the release of U.S. inflation data. Consumer price data from the United States was the primary overseas event capturing investors' attention.
The main concern was whether inflation would remain robust enough to rekindle expectations of another Federal Reserve rate increase in October. Market sentiment was primarily negative, with 57.4% of traded stocks declining and only 38.9% gaining.
