Japan share market ended softer on Friday, 15 January 2016, after paring its gains at noon, following a burst of positive action in early trading, as insurance, realty and bank, and financial stocks started to slip. Initial market action in the Tokyo market was driven by a buoyant Wall Street, which rallied strongly overnight following an oil price rise and gains in Chinese share markets yesterday. The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average ended 93.84 points, or 0.54%, down at 17147.11. The Topix index of all Tokyo Stock Exchange First Section issues dropped 4.10 points, or 0.29%, to 1402.45.
