Tokyo's Nikkei Average Falls

Thu Aug 19, 2004

TOKYO (Reuters) - Tokyo's Nikkei average fell 0.46 percent early morning on Friday with technology shares such as Fujitsu Ltd. leading the way, following a retreat in their U.S. peers and on worries over record-breaking oil prices.

The Nikkei lost 49.76 points to 10,853.77 by 8:05 p.m. EDT Thursday. It had risen 215.72 points in the past three sessions after hitting a three-month closing low on Monday.

The broader TOPIX index was down 2.99 points or 0.27 percent at 1,104.49.
