Tokyo's main stock index closes lower on the day

  • Session high 21,164.38
  • Session low 20,937.26

Four straight sessions of decline for the Nikkei, as Asian stocks are all faring poorer once again in spite of Wall Street's positive end to last week. The trade rhetoric is still weighing heavily on stocks in Asia.

The close today sees the index fall below the 200-day MA (blue line) and it's the lowest close since October last year.
