Issue Nikkei: Points and Airbus Sas

issue nikkei: It fell 1.38 points the previous day, according to The Japan Times. The Nikkei average gave up over 230 points as soon as the opening bell rang, as sell orders had piled up after the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump threatened Tuesday to impose additional tariffs on European imports as retaliation for subsidies to Airbus SAS. The EU promptly responded, saying it is readying a list of tariffs to counter subsidies to Boeing Corp. The 225-issue Nikkei average lost 115.02 points, or 0.53 percent, to end at 21,687.57, after gaining 40.94 points on Tuesday. ; The TOPIX index of all first-section issues finished down 11.10 points, or 0.69 percent, at 1,607.66. The Tokyo market was also dampened by the yen's strengthening against the dollar and other major currencies in the wake of the International Monetary Fund's downward revision in its World Economic Outlook, market sources said. But both Nikkei and TOPIX indexes remained in negative territory throughout Wednesday's session. Stocks cut some of the initial losses after the wave of selling. (news.financializer.com).
