Japan��s
Topix index fell, poised for its fourth straight monthly loss, as the
yen held gains against the dollar amid escalating tensions over Ukraine.
The
Topix declined 0.8 percent to 1,160.65 as of 9:01 a.m. in Tokyo, with
all 33 industry groups dropping. The measure is headed for a 3.5 percent
loss this month, the biggest since January. The Nikkei 225 Stock
Average slid 0.8 percent today to 14,310.16. The yen traded at 102.11
per dollar after three days of gains.
Futures
on the Standard & Poor 500 Index were little changed today. The
measure lost 0.8 percent on April 25 while the Nasdaq Composite Index
posted its biggest decline in two weeks on concern earnings growth is
too slow to justify valuations. Amazon.com Inc. tumbled after predicting
an operating loss this quarter.
