Nikkei sags 0.4 percent
Japan's Nikkei 225 index erased earlier gains
to fall into negative territory, as a stronger yen offset the impact of upbeat
growth data. The dollar-yen was last quoted at 125.39, with the yen gaining
ground of around 0.2 percent against the greenback.
Export-oriented stocks were mostly lower due to the currency; blue-chip
Toyota Motor and Nissan eased 1.3 percent each, while Sony and Panasonic lost
1.3 and 1.1 percent, respectively.
