cruise missiles: On Thursday, the key market gauge tumbled 264.21 points to its lowest finish since Dec. 7 last year, according to The Japan Times. The Topix index of all first-section issues finished up 9.59 points, or 0.65 percent, at 1,489.77, after falling 24.48 points the previous day. The 225-issue Nikkei average gained 67.57 points, or 0.36 percent, to end at 18,664.63. After opening higher thanks to Wall Street's rebound overnight, the Tokyo market gave up the gains on reports that the United States attacked a Syrian air base with cruise missiles. In the afternoon, however, stocks turned around on buybacks. The Nikkei average sank into negative territory by around the midmorning session amid intensifying risk aversion on the back of heightening geopolitical tensions, brokers said.
