Market Gauge: Points and European u.s

market gauge: On Tuesday, the key market gauge climbed 63.33 points, according to The Japan Times. On the other hand, the Topix index of all first-section issues ended down 0.11 point, or 0.01 percent, at 1,471.42, after advancing 5.84 points the previous day. The 225-issue Nikkei average rose 13.61 points, or 0.07 percent, to finish at 18,432.20. Stocks opened weaker after European and U.S. equities lost ground on Tuesday as European political situations grew further murky following British Prime Minister Theresa May's announcement that she will hold a general election on June 8. Wiping out earlier losses, stocks fluctuated narrowly in positive territory in the latter half of the afternoon session amid buying and selling vying with each other. The Tokyo market showed some resilience after the initial selling ran its course but turned lower toward the morning close. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
