Japan share market ended down for third consecutive session on Thursday, 17 March 2016, as risk sentiments weighed down by yen ascent against the dollar after the Federal Reserve signalled a slower pace of interest-rate increases amid the potential impact from weaker global growth and financial-market turmoil. The 225-issue Nikkei average fell 38.07 points, or 0.22%, to end at 16936.38. The Topix index of all first-section issues dropped 1.53 points, or 0.11%, to 1358.97. Falling issues outnumbered rising ones 915 to 872 in the TSE's first section, while 157 issues were unchanged. Volume increased to 2,207 million shares from Wednesday's 1,861 million shares.
