Tokyo stocks close lower on profit-taking

TOKYO, Nov 7, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Tokyo stocks closed lower as investors took
profits at last minute on Wednesday, after the US mid-term election results
showed Democrats retaking control of the House of Representatives as
projected.

The benchmark Nikkei 225 index was down 0.28 percent or 61.95 points to
end at 22,085.80, while the broader Topix index fell 0.42 percent or 6.92
points to 1,652.43.
