Tokyo stocks broke their winning streak on Wednesday following a choppy session that saw traders caught between profit-taking and buying on comments by U.S. Federal Reserve chief Janet Yellen that hinted the central bank is in no hurry to raise its key interest rate.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average ended down 18.28 points, or 0.10 percent, from Tuesday at 18,585.20, ending a five-day climb. It briefly rose as high as 18,648.77, the highest intraday level since April 2000, according to Japan's (Kyodo) News Agency.
The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange finished 0.66 point, or 0.04 percent, lower at 1,507.62 after gaining seven straight sessions.
