The Nikkei 225 Index fell 0.3% to below 36,550 while the broader Topix Index dropped 0.5% to 2,607 on Friday, with Japanese shares sliding for the third straight session as a rallying yen continued to pressure domestic equities. The Nikkei and Topix indexes are also on track to decline about 5% and 4%, respectively, this week for their first losing week since early August.

Meanwhile, investors digested data showing Japan’s household spending rose less than expected in July, although previous data pointed to rising wages. Elsewhere, traders cautiously awaited a crucial US jobs report that could affect the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision this month. Notable losses were seen from index heavyweights like Disco Corp (-2.4%), Tokyo Electron (-1.7%), Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (-3.2%), Toyota Motor (-2.1%) and Advantest (-1.6%).

Indeks Nikkei 225 turun 0,3% menjadi di bawah 36.550 sementara Indeks Topix turun 0,5% menjadi 2.607 pada hari Jumat, dengan saham Jepang tergelincir untuk sesi ketiga berturut-turut karena penguatan yen terus menekan ekuitas domestik. Indeks Nikkei dan Topix juga berada di jalur penurunan masing-masing sekitar 5% dan 4%, pada minggu ini, yang merupakan minggu penurunan pertama mereka sejak awal Agustus.

Sementara itu, investor mencerna data yang menunjukkan kenaikan belanja rumah tangga Jepang di bulan Juli kurang dari perkiraan, meskipun data sebelumnya menunjukkan kenaikan upah. Di tempat lain, para pedagang dengan hati-hati menunggu laporan penting ketenagakerjaan AS yang dapat mempengaruhi keputusan suku bunga Federal Reserve bulan ini. Kerugian besar terlihat dari indeks kelas berat seperti Disco Corp (-2.4%), Tokyo Electron (-1.7%), Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (-3.2%), Toyota Motor (-2.1%) dan Advantest (-1.6%).
