Nikkei drops on stronger yen, weak offshore cues

Japanese share market finished the session down after fluctuating between gains and losses on Monday, 20 April 2015, on the back of US dollar weakness against the yen and poor lead from the US and European markets on Friday amid jitters over Greece's future in the eurozone and China's economic slowdown. The benchmark Nikkei 225 index dropped 18.39 points, or 0.09%, to finish at 19634.49, while the broader Topix index of all first-section shares declined 6.01 points, or 0.38%, to 1582.68.
