Nikkei drops 0.33% from eight -month high

Japanese share market closed lower in relatively quiet trading on Thursday, 04 September 2014, registering first drop in four consecutive sessions. The decline came as investors booked profits after the Bank of Japan kept its policy unchanged and on caution before a European Central Bank meeting later on the global day. The benchmark Nikkei 225 index declined 0.33%, or 52.17 points, to finish at 15676.18, snapping three days of winning streak. The Topix index of all first-section shares dropped 0.39%, or 5.13 points, to 1296.39.
