Asian markets Nikkei closed down
Japanese Nikkei' started off on a weak note as All Nippon airways was down when the airline doubled its annual loss estimate. Hiroaki Osakabe, a fund manager at Chibagin Asset Management said: "The market has risen to a pretty good place and though some individual shares are moving on specific factors, there's no real reason to push the overall Nikkei much higher. There's some talk and concern about the EU summit on Greece, but if they actually come up with a plan for aid the yen could weaken a bit. In any case, there could be some short-term movement after this."
The Nikkei 225 index closed down 50.57 points to 10,774.15.
