Tokyo, June 8 (Jiji Press)--Tokyo stocks plummeted Monday, led by heavy selling of artificial intelligence-related issues following declines in U.S. technology shares late last week, with the key Nikkei 225 stock average briefly losing over 3,100 points. The index of 225 selected issues listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's Prime section ended Monday's session at 64,024.60, down 2,563.52 points, or 3.84 pct, from Friday. A wide range of issues came under selling pressure from the outset, reflecting declines in major U.S. stock indexes on Friday amid heightened speculation over a possible interest rate hike in the United States.
