Tokyo stocks flat in early trading

Xinhua, May 26, 2015 Adjust font size:

Tokyo stocks opened flat in early trading Tuesday as the boost to investor sentiment from the yen's continued weakness against the U.S. dollar was tempered by profit- taking.

At 9:15 a.m., the 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average was down 8.48 points, or 0.04 percent, from Monday to 20,405.29. The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange lost 0.79 points, or 0.05 percent, to 1,658.36.

Major decliners included securities and precision instruments, while air transport as well as oil and coal products led gainers. Endi
