dow jones: On Wednesday, the key market gauge gained 14.61 points, according to The Japan Times. The Topix index of all first-section issues ended down 14.48 points, or 0.94 percent, at 1,527.59, after losing 2.76 points the previous day. The 225-issue Nikkei average shed 154.26 points, or 0.80 percent, to close at 19,063.22. Amid a dearth of major trading incentives, the market got off to a weaker start after the Dow Jones industrial average fell back in New York on Wednesday on growing skepticism about U.S. President Donald Trump's ability to carry out his pledged economic stimulus measures. The market retreated as the dollar failed to advance further after rising to around 111.40 in the morning, an asset management firm official said. Stocks extended losses in the afternoon as investors were disappointed to see the yen stop falling, brokers said.
