18 Nov 2022 , 02:02 PM

Japanese share market finished choppy trading session in mixed fashion on Friday, 18 November 2022, as hawkish comments from a top U.S. Federal Reserve official renewed worry about more aggressive interest rate hikes in the United States.

At closing bell, the 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average index declined 30.80 points, or 0.11%, to 27,899.77. The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange was up 0.75 points, or 0.04%, to 1,967.03. Total 19 of 33 TSE sectors closed up, with Insurance (up 1.7%), Pharmaceutical (up 1.3%), Electric Power & Gas (up 1.2%), and Textiles & Apparels (up 1.1%) issues being notable gainers. Shares of aviation companies closed down. Japan Airlines shed 0.9%, while ANA Holdings dipped 0.6%. Export related shares after the yen weakened against the U.S. dollar which bloats their overseas profits when repatriated. Suzuki Motor rose 2.2% and Honda Motor advanced 1%. ECONOMIC NEWS: The core consumer price index for Japan rose 3.6% in October on an annualized basis.
