The Nikkei index may fall due to profit-taking.

After hitting a record high in the benchmark index on Thursday, the Japanese stock market may see a decline due to profit-taking. Domestic technology stocks may also be dragged down by the overnight drop in the Nasdaq Composite Index, as strong earnings from Micron Technology failed to boost the broader tech sector. On the Singapore Exchange, Nikkei 225 futures fell by 785 points to 71,615. The Nikkei 225 rose by 4.6% to 72,366.34 points on Thursday.
