Japan’s Nikkei share average slipped on Monday after surrendering early gains, as weaker Nasdaq futures weighed on technology stocks ahead of quarterly results from US memory-chip maker Micron Technology later this week, Reuters reported.
The Nikkei ended the morning session 0.05% lower at 66,333.53, after climbing as much as 1% earlier to 67,034.74, its highest level since mid-August. If the trend continues, the index is set to snap a five-session winning streak.
