Tokyo: Nikkei opens flat on Tuesday

TOKYO’s key Nikkei index opened flat on Tuesday after Wall Street retreated following rallies last week that were fuelled by hopes the Federal Reserve would ease its interest-rate hikes. The benchmark Nikkei 225 index was down 0.01 per cent, or 2.85 points, at 27,960.62 in early trade after drifting between positive and negative territories, while the broader Topix index was up 0.23 per cent, or 4.52 points, at 1,961.42.
