Tokyo stocks close down on yen's rise, caution ahead of Trump's speech
Tokyo stocks
Tokyo - Xinhua
Tokyo stocks closed lower Monday with the benchmark Nikkei dropping to its lowest level in more than two weeks as a firm yen against the U.S. dollar dented sentiment, while jitters ahead of Donald Trump's State of the Union speech sent investors to the sidelines.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average dropped 176.07 points, or 0.91 percent, from Friday to end the day at 19,107.47.
The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, meanwhile, lost 16.14 points, or 1.04 percent, to close at 1,534.00.
The majority of industry categories on the main section retreated and closed in negative territory by the close of play Monday.
Financial issues led the declines, as Japanese government bond yields fell following a drop in U.S. Treasury yields late last week.
The turnover on the first trading day of the week was 2,139 billion yen (19.05 billion U.S. dollars).

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
