Japan stocks closed mixed on strong yen, Greek jitters

Japanese shares ended mixed on Tuesday, 17 February 2015, as a slightly firmer yen against the greenback and lack of lead from Wall Street, which was closed on Monday for the US Presidents' Day holiday, took toll on market sentiment. The poor progress in talks over Greece's debt crisis also weighed on sentiment. The Nikkei Stock Average declined 17.98 points, or 0.1%, to 17987.09. The broader Topix ended 2.64 points, or 0.18%, stronger at 1462.07, its highest close since December 2007.
