Japan's Nikkei gauge trims 2025 surge as techs take a breather

Japan's Nikkei index saw a slight dip on Tuesday, with tech stocks leading the decline. Despite this, the Nikkei is on track for a significant annual gain, its third consecutive. SoftBank's acquisition news and a broader tech pullback from Wall Street contributed to the day's movements, though analysts suggest end-of-year adjustments are a key factor.
