Nikkei slips 1.4%

Japanese share market closed the session with heavy losses on Thursday, 26 March 2015. The market retreated further from a 15-year high hit on Monday, amid profit booking across the board on following negative lead from Wall Street overnight and yen hardening against the greenback. The Nikkei Stock Average declined 275.08 points, or 1.39%, to close at 19471.12. The broader Topix index dropped 23.19 points, or 1.46%, to 1568.82.
