Hey, it's Imane, your friendly neighborhood streamer, diving into the world of finance! So, the Nikkei 225 in Japan is going absolutely bonkers after their recent election. Apparently, this "Takaichi trade" is the hot new thing, and everyone's jumping on board. It's like when a new game drops, and suddenly everyone's a pro. Remember Among Us? Good times... Anyway, the Nikkei is up 2.77%, practically breathing down the neck of 58,000. Someone get those stocks some water; they're sprinting.

Softbank's Big Brain Move

Speaking of sprinting, Softbank is also having a moment. Their shares shot up almost 12% because one of their companies decided to be all optimistic and upgrade their financial predictions. Talk about a glow-up. It's like when I finally figure out how to use a new filter on stream and suddenly everyone's saying I look amazing. Maybe I should invest in filters instead of stocks. Hmm...

Aussie Aussie Aussie: Gains for Days

Down under in Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 is on a winning streak, making gains for the third day in a row. Good on ya, mates! It's like when I finally win a game of Valorant after losing all day. The sweet taste of victory. Maybe I should move to Australia; seems like they're doing something right.

US Tech to the Rescue

Across the pond in the US, tech stocks are carrying the S&P 500 on their backs. The Dow Jones hit a record high, and the Nasdaq is jumping for joy. It's like when my chat hypes me up, and I suddenly become a gaming god. Thanks, chat! Tech continues to dominate, proving once again that the future is now... or something like that. As always, remember to do your own research (DYOR), and don't take financial advice from a streamer. Unless...?
