Japan's Nikkei Rebounds on Tech Gains Amid Fed and BOJ Rate Watch
Japan's Nikkei 225 rebounded on Friday, ending a four-day losing streak, driven by gains in technology stocks such as SoftBank Group and Kioxia Holdings. The recovery followed reduced expectations for a US Federal Reserve rate hike after comments from Fed Governor Christopher Waller. Despite Friday's gains, the Nikkei remained on track for a weekly decline amid concerns over potential Bank of Japan rate increases, higher oil prices, and rising global bond yields. The yen's recent appreciation also influenced market sentiment.
