| May 17, 2007 | | Japanese stock indices down, but some individual stocks are up | Even though the two main Japanese stock indices, the Topix and the Nikkei 225, are down, some individual equities are showing success on the stock market today. Japanese tech stocks, especially Sony, are up in stock market trading. Other Asian stock indices, including the Asia-Pacific Index, are on the rise. Spread bets and CFDs on stock market trading should consider this information from Bloomberg:

gained 0.1 percent to 148.41 at 6:58 p.m. in Tokyo. Japan's Topix
index lost 0.3 percent while the Nikkei 225 Stock Average slipped
0.2 percent. The only other benchmarks to fall were in Pakistan
and Sri Lanka. Indonesia's stock market was closed for a holiday. | | |
