The Japan share market finished session in negative territory on Monday, 12 June 2017, as investors were in a risk adverse mode ahead of a two-day Federal Reserve meeting that begins on Wednesday. Investor sentiment was also damped by weaker-than-expected Japanese machinery order data for April, released by the Cabinet Office just before the opening bell. Electrical appliance, information and communication, and precision instrument-linked issues comprised those that declined the most by the close of play. The Nikkei 225 average shed 104.68 points, or 0.52%, to close at 19,908.58. The Topix, including all first-section issues, ended down 0.11 point, or 0.01%, at 1,591.55. Trading volume on the main section on Monday came to 1,785.76 million shares, down from Friday's volume of 2,263.87 million shares. The turnover on the first trading day of the week totaled 2,313.2 billion yen.
