The Tokyo Stock Exchange begins trading with a minus sign, following the correction of US stock indices, following inflation data in January in the United States, which was higher than expected.
At the opening, the Nikkei reference list recorded a decline of 0.68%, to 37,704.82, and a loss of 259 points, retreating from the highs in 34 years.
The reduced prospects of an interest rate cut by the Fed strengthen the dollar against the yen, at a level of 150.70, for the first time since November, and against the euro at 161.30.
