Japan’s Nikkei hits record high, overheating caution limits gains

Nikkei in Japan reached a record high today, mirroring Wall Street’s performance. However, market caution limited further gains. Investors felt the market might be overheating. Wall Street saw record closes due to expectations of Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. Chip-related stocks and Fast Retailing contributed to Nikkei’s rise. SoftBank Group experienced a slight dip after a significant surge this week.
