Japan share market finished session lower in lacklustre trade on Tuesday, 01 September 2020, due to soft lead from Wall Street overnight and amid a dearth of fresh market-moving factors with investors digesting Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's plan to resign and the race to succeed him.
At closing bell, the 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average fell 1.69 points, or 0.01%, to 23,138.07.
The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange shed 2.37 points, or 0.15%, to 1,615.81.
Total 25 issues of the 33 industry category of Topix index ended into red territory, with Land Transportation, Fishery, Agriculture & Forestry, Warehousing & Harbor Transportation Services, Real Estate, Textiles & Apparels, and Mining issues being notable losers, while Precision Instruments, Wholesale Trade, Services, and Electric Power & Gas issues were notable gainers.
