Tokyo stocks close lower on US falls
TOKYO, Sept 17, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – Tokyo stocks closed lower on Thursday as investors were disheartened by falls in US high-tech shares, with the Bank of Japan’s unchanged policy failing to support the market.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index was down 0.67 percent, or 156.16 points, at 23,319.37 at the close, while the broader Topix index ended down 0.36 percent, or 5.95 points, at 1,638.40.
