(MENAFN- QNA) Tokyo stocks fell Wednesday morning as overnight losses on Wall Street and Japan's weak core machinery orders data cooled market sentiment.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average shed 55.82 points, or 0.35%, from Tuesday to 15,693.33, according to Japan's (Kyodo) News Agency.
The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange was down 0.10 point, or 0.01%, to 1,299.52.
