The Japanese stock market is likely to fall, following Wall Street's overnight decline. The decline in artificial intelligence-related stocks that dragged down the Nasdaq Composite Index on Monday is likely to affect Japanese technology stocks. Investors may also worry that the market generally expects the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates at this week's meeting, which may curb domestic economic growth. Nikkei index futures on the Singapore Exchange fell 245 points to 49,975 points. The Nikkei index closed down 1.3% to 50,168.11 points on Monday.
