"Global Stock Markets Reach New Highs Despite Inflation Concerns"

Asian shares mostly rose following a record rally on Wall Street, with Japan’s Nikkei 225 and Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 both posting gains. The U.S. dollar slipped against the Japanese yen, and speculation is growing that Japan’s central bank may end its super-easy monetary policy. On Wall Street, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq composite reached all-time highs, driven by strong performances from big technology stocks like Oracle and Nvidia. Traders are closely watching inflation data and speculating on potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.
