Nikkei ends near 1-month low

Japan share market ended mixed on Monday, 4 April 2016, as boost from the better-than-expected U.S. jobs data last week offset by a stronger yen. Major gainers included fishery, agriculture and forestry as well as food issues, while transportation equipment and rubber product issues led decliners. The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average ended down 40.89 points, or 0.25 percent, from Friday at 16,123.27, a roughly one-month closing low. The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange finished 1.31 points, or 0.10 percent, higher at 1,302.71.
