Japan Nikkei ends 0.33% lower

Japan share market finished session down on Monday, 23 April 2018, with investor sentiment battered by Wall Street's slump on Friday, while keeping a wary eye on US bond yields as they approach peaks that have triggered market spasms in the past. But the market's loss was limited thanks to the yen's weakening against the dollar and purchases of financial issues. The 225-issue Nikkei average fell 74.20 points, or 0.33 percent, to end at 22,088.04. The TOPIX index of all First Section issues closed down 0.34 point, or 0.02 percent, at 1,750.79.
