Japan’s Nikkei leads world markets lower (AP)

August 24th, 2010

A man looks at a Tokyo securities firm's electric board displaying Japan's Nikkei 225 stock average's closing price of 9116.69, hitting a fresh nine-month low Monday, Aug 23, 2010. The Nikkei index shed 0.68 percent to 9,116.69 as a strong yen — which can reduce the profits of Japanese exporters — continued to drag sentiment. As expected, Prime Minister Naoto Kan and Bank of Japan Gov. Masaaki Shirakawa discussed on the telephone recent foreign exchange developments, according to Kyodo news agency. (AP Photo/Koji Sasahara)AP - Japan’s Nikkei index led world markets lower Tuesday as the yen’s rise to a fresh 15-year high against the dollar and a nine-year best against the euro hit the share prices of the country’s high-value exporters.
