Japan's Nikkei falls on Fed rate-hike bets, tech valuation concerns

Japan's Nikkei index has experienced a decline for the second consecutive day, primarily due to concerns over potential interest rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve and uncertainties surrounding valuations in the AI sector. The Nikkei 225 benchmark fell from its recent peak, mirroring declines in US stocks, particularly in the semiconductor industry. This trend indicates global economic interconnectivity and highlights the impact of US monetary policy on international markets, making it crucial for competitive exam aspirants to understand these dynamics.
