Japan Stocks snap four-day winning streak on U.S. political uncertainty

The Japan share market closed down on Wednesday, 14 March 2018, snapping four days of winning streak, as investors appetite for risk hit by threat of new US tariffs on Chinese imports and US President Donald Trump's move to fire his Secretary of State, regarded as a moderate in his administration, reinforcing market uncertainty about Trump's future policies. The benchmark Nikkei 225 index fell 0.87%, or 190.81 points, to 21,777.29. The broader Topix index slipped 0.45%, or 7.82 points, to 1,743.21.
