(ANSA) - TOKYO, OCTOBER 21 - The Tokyo Stock Exchange begins the last session of the week in decline, following the contraction of the US stock market and the new fears of a global recession validated by the increase in yields on the US bond market.
At the opening, the Nikkei benchmark index fell by 0.29% to 26,927.30, with a loss of 79 points.
On the foreign exchange market, the dollar remains above the psychological threshold of 150 against the yen, a 32-year high despite the government's warnings about a possible intervention in the market.
A dynamic that also affects the euro on the Japanese currency, at 146.70.
