Japan share market finished session mixed on Monday, 05 December 2022, on tracking soft lead from Wall Street last Friday, after stronger-than-expected jobs report for November put a damper on hopes the Federal Reserve would ease the pace of its interest rate hikes. Stronger-than-expected US jobs figures prompted traders to increase their wagers on where rates will top out in the current tightening cycle, rather than changing their bets for the size of the increase at the Federal Reserves December meeting.
