Nikkei falls on weak chip shares, tests key support from 200-day average

By Reuters Staff 2 Min Read TOKYO, July 19 (Reuters) - Japan’s Nikkei share average dropped on Monday to test a major support level from its 200-day moving average, as semiconductor stocks came under pressure tracking losses in their U.S. peers due to profit-taking. Sentiment was also hit by worries about the spread of highly contagious Delta variant of the coronavirus and the Tokyo 2020 Olympics likely worsening the health crisis and eroding public support for Prime Minister Yoshide Suga ahead of an election later this year. By late afternoon trade, Nikkei share average fell 1.58% to 27,561.59, edging near last week’s two-month low of 27,419.40.
