Nikkei drops 0.46% from 18.5 years peak

Last Updated : Jun 25 2015 | 5:13 PM IST

Japanese share market finished lower for the first time in five consecutive sessions on Thursday, 25 June 2015, as some apparent profit taking triggered after the market closed at highest level since December 1996 on Wednesday, 24 June 2015. Meanwhile, a weak session on Wall Street overnight, a flat yen, and lack of a resolution of Greece with its creditors also weighed on investors sentiments. The Nikkei Stock Average declined 96.63 points, or 0.46%, to finish at 20771.40. The Topix index of all Tokyo Stock Exchange First Section issues dropped 0.53%, or 8.98 points, to close at 1670.91.
