Tokyo markets dip at open
November 15, 2001: 8:37 p.m. ET

Banking sector weighs on Nikkei and TOPIX indexes.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Tokyo stocks inched lower at the open Friday, weighed down by persistent weakness in the banking sector and profit-taking ahead of the weekend following the previous day's four percent jump.

But the market found support from extended gains in Sony Corp. and other major high-tech shares on a softer yen and hopes the U.S. economy will soon recover.

The benchmark Nikkei average was down 0.3 percent or 34.48 points at 10,455.41 by 12:15 p.m. GMT, while the capital-weighted TOPIX index gave up 0.5 percent or 4.65 points to 1,039.91.

The Nikkei, which surged 4 percent Thursday, was meeting resistance at its 25-day moving average at about 10,490.
