Last Updated : Jan 06 2016 | 7:49 PM IST

Japan share market finished down for third straight session on Wednesday, 06 January 2016, as risk sentiments weighed down by stronger yen against major currencies, persistent concerns surrounding China's economy, and renewed geopolitical tensions, this time on the Korean peninsula. Total 30 out of 33 TOPIX sectors recorded losses, with Oil & Coal Products, Mining, Nonferrous Metals, Iron & Steel, and Electric Appliances issues being major losers. The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average declined 182.68 points, or 0.99%, to 18191.32. The Topix index of all Tokyo Stock Exchange First Section issues lost 15.87 points, or 1.05%, to 1488.84.
