Tokyo stocks lose ground in morning as yen's rise hits exporters

Xinhua, February 9, 2017 Adjust font size:

Tokyo stocks lost ground Thursday morning, as the yen's rise against the U.S. dollar dented exporter issues as the market remained in a circumspect mood due to unclear U.S.'s political foreign policy and economic stances.

The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average lost 36.14 points, or 0.19 percent, from Wednesday to 18,971.46.

The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, meanwhile, fell 4.55 points, or 0.30 percent, to 1,519.60.

Notable issues that retreated by the morning break comprised air transport, transportation equipment and glass-linked issues. Endit
