Nikkei closes softer on profit booking

Last Updated : Jun 03 2015 | 12:01 AM IST

Japanese share market closed weaker after fluctuating in tight range on Tuesday, 02 June 2015, sapping twelve sessions of straight gains, as investors opting to withdraw some profit off the table on tracking weak trade on the other regional bourses which declined amid doubts about Greece's ability to make debt payments and stay in the euro currency bloc. The Nikkei Stock Average declined 26.68 points, or 0.13%, to end at 20543.19. The Topix index of all Tokyo Stock Exchange First Section issues dropped 0.26%, or 4.35 points, to 1674.21. Both measures have rallied for 12 days.
