Japan market falls marginally from 2-month high

Japanese market closed mixed on Friday, 06 June 2014, as optimism the country's largest pension fund will funnel more money into stocks was offset by profit-taking after the previous day saw the market post its best finish in two months. Investors were unmoved by the European Central Bank's launch of unprecedented easing measures to ward off deflation in the eurozone. The benchmark Nikkei 225 index was down 2.13 points to 15077.24, while the Topix index of all first-section shares inched up 1.82 points to 1234.57. For the week, the benchmark added 3.0%.
