HA NOI (Biz Hub) — Japanese indices fell to their lowest in ten months on January 6 due to slumping oil prices and a stronger yen hurting exporters' shares.
Thus, the Nikkei 225 lost 525.52 points to close at 16,883.19, and the Topix Index slipped 39.95 points to close at 1,361.14 in Tokyo.
The Hang Seng Index also fell 288.57 points to close at 23,432.75 in Hong Kong, while its fellow bourse, the Shanghai Composite Index on mainland China, added 0.93 points to close at 3,351.45. In Singapore, the Straits Times Index edged down 45.19 points to end at 3,283.09.
