Japan’s Nikkei share average fell on Tuesday, putting the benchmark on course to end a five-session winning streak, as the stalemate in the Middle East conflict pushed oil prices higher and revived concerns over inflation and risks in global bond markets, as per a report by Reuters.
The Nikkei was down 1.1% at 68,460.56 by late morning, after gaining 5.5% over the previous five trading sessions. The broader Topix index slipped 0.2% to 4,177.50.
