The Tokyo Stock Exchange starts the last session of the week lower, despite the advance of US stock indices, in the face of the progressive appreciation of the yen that weighs on the sector that most depends on the sustainability of exports. At the opening, the benchmark Nikkei list gave up 0.95 percent to 32,545.59, a loss of 312 points. On the foreign exchange front, expectations of a gradual tightening of the Central Bank of Japan's (BoJ) ultra-expansive monetary policy are giving strength to the Japanese currency - at its highest in 4 months against the dollar, at 143.40, and against the euro at 154.80.
