Tokyo's main index ends the day with gains
- Session high 24,448.07
- Session low 24,217.26
But it surrendered quite a bit of its earlier gains as market sentiment started waning and ends the day just off the lows. The Nikkei closed yesterday at its highest level in 27 years and Japanese investors continue to be buoyed by that notion. The main story in Asian trading though is the decline in the Hang Seng index, which has fallen by 2.1% now.
