Nikkei ends softer on stronger yen, profit taking

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.
