Stock Market Live Updates: Japan's Nikkei falls over 1% after Fed warns of higher rates for longer




Japan's Nikkei share average declined more than 1% on Thursday, as technology heavyweights tracked their U.S. peers lower after the Federal Reserve stiffened its hawkish stance with a further interest rate hike projected by the year-end.

The Nikkei had fallen 1.14% to 32,647.72 by the midday break, with chip-testing equipment maker Advantest shedding 2.34% to become the biggest drag.
