bank group: It gained 30.99 points the previous day, according to The Japan Times. Despite an overnight rise in U.S. equities, the Tokyo market got off to a weak start after U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted that progress is being made in the tariff talks but not nearly enough. The 225-issue Nikkei average edged down 2.06 points, or 0.01 percent, to end at 20,774.04, after jumping 367.56 points on Wednesday. ; The TOPIX index of all first-section issues finished down 5.17 points, or 0.34 percent, at 1,524.91. The Nikkei soon took an upturn and remained in positive territory until late afternoon trading thanks to buying in such heavily weighted component issues as clothing store chain Fast Retailing and technology investor Soft Bank Group, brokers said. The yen's continued strength against the dollar also prevented active stock buying, brokers said. Meanwhile, the TOPIX fluctuated narrowly around the previous day's closing level for the most of the session.
