dow jones: On Tuesday, the key market gauge lost 9.83 points, according to The Japan Times. The Topix index of all first-section issues finished down 1.74 points, or 0.11 percent, at 1,591.77, after losing 1.96 points the previous day. The 225-issue Nikkei average fell 15.23 points, or 0.08 percent, to close at 19,883.52. The Nikkei average retook 20,000 shortly after the opening bell on buying prompted by the Dow Jones industrial average's record closing on the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday. Stocks gradually shed gains and sank into negative territory toward the day's closing. But the Tokyo market's topside soon grew heavy, with investors increasingly taking to the sidelines to wait for the Fed announcement of a decision at the two-day Federal Open Market Committee meeting through Wednesday, brokers said.
