: On Tuesday, the key market gauge plunged 360.89 points, according to The Japan Times. The Topix index retreated 6.14 points, or 0.38 percent, to close at 1,628.23, after falling 27.62 points the previous day. The 225-issue Nikkei average lost 49.94 points, or 0.25 percent, to end at 20,046.36. Both indexes extended their losing streaks to a fourth session. The indicator was also shored up by large-lot index futures-led buying by overseas funds, brokers said. After moving narrowly around the previous day closing level, the Nikkei average climbed thanks to buying on dips and buybacks after the previous day tumble.
