Tokyo stocks end lower on profit taking
TOKYO, Dec 18, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Tokyo shares ended lower Wednesday, as
investors locked in profit following recent gains, although a broadly
positive market sentiment remained intact, boosted by positive economic data
and a US-China trade deal.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index fell 0.55 percent or 131.69 points at
23,934.43, while the broader Topix index lost 0.50 percent or 8.80 points to
1,738.40.
