Last Updated : Oct 13 2015 | 6:02 PM IST

The Japanese share market ended softer on Tuesday, 13 October 2015, due to profit-taking after Chinese export data added more evidence about slowdown in the world's second largest economy. Total 22 out of 33 TSE first-section sector sub-indexes weighed down, with Mining, Banks, Insurance, Real Estate, and Securities & Commodities Futures issues being major losers. The Nikkei Stock Average stumbled 203.93 points, or 1.1%, to end at 18234.74 points, meanwhile the broader Topix index slid 0.79%, or 12 points, to 1503.13 at the close. Japanese market was closed for a holiday on Monday.
