Nikkei falls after weak machinery orders

Japanese share market finished the session slightly down after bobbling up and down on Monday, 13 April 2015, amid signs of a lackluster outlook for domestic economy after official data showed that core machinery orders fell 0.4% in February from the previous month. The benchmark Nikkei 225 index dropped 2.17 points, or 0.01%, to finish at 19905.46, while the broader Topix index of all first-section shares declined 3.28 points, or 0.21%, to 1586.26.
