Japan stocks extend losses or fourth day

Japan share market declined for fourth consecutive day on Thursday, 10 July 2014, dragged down by a record drop in machinery orders in May that cast doubt over the outlook for capital spending and the strength of its economic recovery. Meanwhile risk aversion selloff intensified by weak China trade data and yen strength against the dollar. The Nikkei 225 index ended down 0.56%, or 86.18 points, to 15,216.47 while the Topix index of all first-section issues was down 0.91%, or 11.57 points, to finish at 1,259.25.
