Japanese share market finished choppy session lower on Thursday, 17 November 2022, as risk sentiments subdued on following the broadly negative cues from global markets overnight amid geopolitical risks after a missile blast in Poland. Traders also reacted negatively to data showing Japans trade deficit widened in October, as the countrys import bill continued to rocket upward, fueled by a historic slide in the yen that has already helped push the economy back into reverse. At closing bell, the 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average index declined 97.73 points, or 0.35%, to 27,930.57. The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange was up 3 points, or 0.15%, to 1,966.28. Total 22 of 33 TSE sectors closed up, with Land Transportation (up 2.7%), Air Transportation (up 2.6%), Real Estate (up 1.8%), and Fishery, and Agriculture & Forestry (up 1.3%) issues being notable gainers. Nonferrous Metals (down 1.7%), Mining (down 1.4%), Electric Appliances (down 1.1%), and Wholesale Trade (down 1%) issues were notable losers. Shares of chip-related companies declined after grim signals from Micron Technology overnight about excess inventories and sluggish demand.
