Japanese stocks may fall on possible profit-taking following three straight sessions of gains on the benchmark index. Domestic technology names may also be weighed by Wednesday's pullback in shares of chip makers on the Nasdaq Composite. Nikkei futures opened 965 points lower at 69700 on the SGX. The dollar is at 162.55 yen versus Y162.60 late Wednesday in New York. The Nikkei Stock Average closed 0.6% higher at 70474.96 on Wednesday. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
