: On Thursday, the key market gauge gained 14.68 points, according to The Japan Times. The Topix ended down 6.83 points, or 0.41 percent, at 1,667.06, after rising 3.90 points the previous day. The Nikkei 225 average lost 27.29 points, or 0.13 percent, to close at 20,460.90. Investor sentiment was dampened after major European stock indexes retreated and the Dow Jones industrial average shed almost 1 percent on Thursday, brokers said. Mainstay stocks, including export-oriented issues and domestic demand-backed names, met with selling due to lingering concern over short-term market overheating, brokers noted. The Nikkei briefly lost 125 points in the morning session.
