korean peninsula: On Monday, it lost 77.28 points. ; But the Topix, which covers all first-section issues, snapped its four-day losing streak, ending up 0.93 point, or 0.06 percent, at 1,596.12 after a 2.17-point drop Monday, according to The Japan Times. Both indexes fluctuated around the previous day's closing levels throughout Tuesday. The Tokyo Stock Exchange's key index fell 9.29 points, or 0.05 percent, to close at 19,383.84. Some investors took heart from the Dow Jones industrial average's first upturn in three sessions in New York on Monday, brokers said. The geopolitical risks linked to the Korean Peninsula didn't recede or grow after joint military drills between the United States and South Korea began Monday, said Yutaka Miura, senior technical analyst at Mizuho Securities Co. The TSE's topside was capped, however, by continued tensions between the United States and North Korea, brokers said.
