Japanese share market closed lower on Wednesday, 14 May 2014, on profit taking after the benchmark indices surged 2% the previous day. Meanwhile, sharp selling in shares of companies reporting weak outlooks such as JGC, Nikon, and Dentsu also contributed to the market down. A slightly stronger yen also took some air out of the market, particularly denting exporters. The benchmark Nikkei 225 index slipped 0.14% to 14405.76, while the Topix index of all first-section shares was up 0.41% at 1183.15.
