Nikkei 225 index levels to watch
Japan’s leading index is flubbing the bullish momentum after climbing in Monday’s trading, the level for bulls to beat will be last week’s high, sitting nearby at 22,540.00, followed by May’s high beyond at 23,040.00, while a sell-off will find support from last week’s low from 21,910.00 before running into May’s bottom near 20,920.00.
