The Japanese currency strengthened back to the 145 levels per dollar after falling as far as 147.34 the previous day, although a halt in the yen's rise helped narrow equity losses in the Asian afternoon. Nikkei finished 0.3% lower at 37,951.8 after falling 1% in early trade, while the broader Topix fell 0.2% to 2,664.86.
