Japanese stocks fall for for ninth straight sesssion

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — Japanese stocks ended lower for a ninth straight session Tuesday, with the Nikkei 225 Average giving back earlier gains as investors weighed the impact of rising crude oil prices and the Bank of Japan’s quarterly tankan survey that showed the corporate mood had grown more pessimistic, but was still slightly better than expectations. The Nikkei closed 18.18 points lower, or 0.1%, at 13,463.20. The Topix shed 0.03 point to close unchanged on a percentage basis at 1,320.07.
