The Japan share market closed lower on Tuesday, 26 September 2017, dragged lower by yen appreciation against greenback amid heightened tensions between the United States and North Korea. Market players were also paying attention to see if Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen indicates in a speech later in the day the possibility of the Fed carrying out another interest rate hike by the year-end. The Nikkei ended 0.3% lower at 20,330.19, moving away from a two-year high of 20,481.27 hit last week. The broader Topix was flat at 1,672.74.
