Flipitmoney

Japan's Nikkei share average fell 0.9% to 48,117.92 due to investors booking profits ahead of a long weekend. Fast Retailing rose 6.3% after posting a record profit, becoming the Nikkei's biggest support. SoftBank Group lost 3.74%, leading the Nikkei's decline, as chip-related shares also fell. This week's 5% surge was attributed to expectations of renewed fiscal stimulus.
