TOKYO, Dec. 30 (Xinhua) -- Tokyo stocks ended lower on Tuesday, the final trading day of 2025, as profit-taking and risk-averse sentiment weighed on the market.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average ended down 187.44 points, or 0.37 percent, from Monday at 50,339.48. The broader Topix index finished 17.55 points, or 0.51 percent, lower at 3,408.97.
On the top-tier Prime Market, the main decliners were securities house, nonferrous metal and service issues.
The market opened modestly lower, tracking declines in all three major U.S. stock indexes overnight. Investor sentiment was further dampened by a sharp pullback in international precious metal prices, prompting more moves to lock in gains and reduce risk exposure.
The Nikkei came under pressure as SoftBank Group fell on concern over its financial health after it announced plans to acquire U.S. data center investment firm DigitalBridge Group Inc. for roughly 4 billion U.S. dollars.
The U.S. dollar moved narrowly in the lower 156 yen range in Tokyo amid a lack of fresh trading cues and thin participation ahead of the New Year holidays, dealers said.
