Japan's Nikkei drops on portfolio rebalancing
Flipitmoney
Japan's Nikkei fell 0.1% at 44,996.05, while the Topix dropped 0.08%. The decline is attributed to corporate buybacks slowing at the end of Japan's fiscal half. Record share buybacks in 2023 boosted the Nikkei and Topix to peaks. The market remains cautious ahead of US jobs and Japan's leadership election results.
