york market: On Tuesday, the key market gauge sagged 95.76 points. ; The TOPIX index of all first-section issues closed down 3.98 points, or 0.25 percent, at 1,615.25, after dropping 8.36 points the previous day, according to The Japan Times. Both Nikkei and TOPIX remained in negative territory throughout the session, pressured by persistent profit-taking while the yen's weakening against the dollar and Wall Street advance were pausing, brokers said. The 225-issue Nikkei average lost 129.47 points, or 0.60 percent, to end at 21,596.81. But active trading was held in check, due to the absence of fresh market-moving factors, they added. The New York market ended lower for the second straight session Tuesday after choppy trading despite several strong U.S. economic data and earnings results, with buying sentiment dampened to a certain extent by reported remarks by U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that President Donald Trump would reject any trade deal with China that is not perfect. New York's subdued mood spilled over into Tokyo, said Hiroaki Kuramochi, chief market analyst at Saxo Bank Securities Ltd.
