Japan's Nikkei 225 was down more than 6.4% from its previous close, trading around 57,100 at 9:24 a.m. on November 6, Yonhap reported. The index fell for a fifth consecutive session and dropped below 60,000 for the first time in about six months. Yonhap attributed selling in AI and semiconductor stocks to concerns that AI infrastructure investment would slow following a Democratic landslide in the U.S. midterm elections.
