The Nikkei share average
slipped on Tuesday, breaking a three-day rally, after a warning
from Standard & Poor's raised fears of possible sovereign credit
downgrades of top-rated European nations.
Shares in Olympus Corp soared as much as 15 percent
as investors bet that a panel report into its scandal-ridden
accounts would not turn up any nasty new surprises which could
lead to the stock being delisted from the Tokyo bourse. After
the close, the panel said it found no evidence of involvement by
organised crime.
