The Japanese share market finished the session down in choppy trade on Friday, 27 November 2015, amid concerns over market overheating and likely vulnerable to a correction after the benchmark indices hit fresh 3-month high yesterday. Trading was subdued throughout the day as many market participants were away for the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. The day's notable losers comprised Air Transportation, Electric Power & Gas, Pulp & Paper, Glass & Ceramics Products, and Land Transportation issues, while Mining, Marine Transportation, and Nonferrous Metals issues were among major gainers. The Nikkei 225 index at the Tokyo Stock Exchange ended down 0.3%, or 60.47 points, to 19883.94, while the wider Topix index of all first-section shares declined 0.49%, or 7.87 points, to 1594.45. Falling stocks outnumbered advancing ones on the Tokyo Stock Exchange by 1171 to 702 and 1 ended unchanged.
