(ANSA) - TOKYO, OCTOBER 22 - The Tokyo Stock Exchange begins the last session of the week with a minus sign, after the mixed closure of the US stock market and with investors looking with perplexity at the end-of-month elections in Japan for the renewal of the lower house and the chances of a tightened majority of the ruling coalition.
At the opening, the Nikkei reference index fell by 0.43% to 28,584.02, marking a loss of 123 points.
On the currency front, the yen regained ground against the dollar at 114.90 and the euro at 132.40.
