japanese companies: On Monday, the key market gauge lost 21.39 points, according to The Japan Times. The Topix index of all first-section issues finished up 0.17 point, or 0.01 percent, at 1,393.19, after climbing 0.61 point the previous day. The 225-issue Nikkei average gained 17.38 points, or 0.10 percent, to end at 17,442.40. Stocks got off to a weaker start following an overnight fall in U.S. equities. The key market gauges popped up into positive territory in the afternoon after the BOJ, as expected in the market, decided to keep its monetary policy unchanged at its two-day Policy Board meeting through Tuesday. Weaker-than-expected earnings reports released Monday by major Japanese companies also pushed down the market, with the Nikkei average briefly losing over 80 points in the morning session.
