Nikkei ends softer on stronger yen, profit taking

Last Updated : Nov 10 2017 | 9:13 AM IST

The Japan share market finished session softer after touching multi-year peaks during morning trade on Thursday, 09 November 2017, as profit booking triggered due to yen strengthening against the dollar and ahead of the settlement of some derivatives. The Nikkei 225, which had climbed some 2% to trade above the 23,000 mark in the morning, edged down 0.2% to close at 22,868.71. The broader Topix index finished the session 0.25% lower at 1,813.11 after touching levels not seen since 1991 earlier in the day.
