The Tokyo Stock Exchange opened down Monday, catching her breath after a hectic week in a cautious market in the absence of clear signals from the US Federal Reserve (Fed) on the date of an increase in rates interest.
In the first minute of trading, the Nikkei index of 225 blue chips yielded 0.68% (-129.34 points) to 19,006.98 points. It had ended Wednesday in a series of six negative sessions due to concerns related to the Chinese slowdown, flying to nearly 7.5% over the weekend.
The broader Topix index of all securities in the first table on the other hand lost 0.51% (-7.95 points) to 1541.85 points.
At the time of the opening in Tokyo (00:00 GMT), the dollar was worth 121.25 yen, higher than Friday’s close, while the euro retreated around 135.95 yen
