The Japan share market declined for third day in row on Tuesday, 26 July 2016, as a poor showing on Wall Street overnight and pullback in oil prices dented sentiment here, with the yen's appreciation against the U.S. dollar also contributing to a dour market mood. The majority of industry categories on the main section had retreated into negative territory, with iron and steel, security and mining-linked stocks comprising notable decliners. The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average declined 237.25 points, or 1.43%, to 16,383.04. The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange finished 18.42 points, or 1.39%, down at 1,306.94.
