Dow Jones: Points and Morning Session

dow jones: On Tuesday, the key market shed 190.92 points, according to The Japan Times. The Topix index of all first-section issues closed up 0.65 point, or 0.04 percent, at 1,597.09, after falling 13.53 points the previous day. The 225-issue Nikkei average gained 4.72 points, or 0.02 percent, to close at 19,984.62. In the morning session, selling outpaced buying after the Dow Jones industrial average lost further ground in New York on Tuesday and the dollar temporarily retreated below 109.50. But stocks resisted further falls thanks to buying on dips, with the key market gauges popping up into positive territory in the afternoon. Led by losses in export-oriented issues, the Nikkei average briefly fell more than 70 points in early trading. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
