Points: Market and Wednesday

points: On Wednesday, the key market gauge lost 90.12 points, according to The Japan Times. The Topix index of all first-section issues closed up 4.43 points, or 0.29 percent, at 1,554.68, after shedding 4.79 point the previous day. The 225-issue Nikkei average gained 64.55 points, or 0.34 percent, to end at 19,318.58. Tokyo stocks attracted buybacks as the yen fell against the dollar after U.S. Automatic Data Processing Inc.'s private-sector jobs data for February, released on Wednesday, far exceeded market expectations. Active buying was held in check also due to a fall in U.S. equities on Wednesday following a plunge in New York crude oil futures prices, brokers said. But the market's topside was limited, with investors taking a wait-and-see stance ahead of the release on Friday of the U.S. government's job data for February and the U.S. Federal Reserve's two-day policy-setting meeting from Tuesday, brokers said.
