Japan's benchmark Nikkei index fluctuated between gains and losses on Wednesday as bargain hunting after the previous session's sharp decline was offset by investor caution ahead of key earnings from major U.S. technology companies and fresh geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, as per a Reuters report.
The Nikkei was last trading 0.04% lower at 62,337.37 after swinging between positive and negative territory during the session. The broader Topix index, however, edged 0.33% higher to 3,976.55.
