TOKYO, June 5 (Xinhua) -- Tokyo stocks ended lower Friday, as weak technology shares tracking their U.S. counterparts overnight prompted investors to continue locking in recent gains.
The benchmark Nikkei stock index, the 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average, ended down 882.57 points, or 1.31 percent, from Thursday at 66,588.12, after briefly losing over 2 percent.
The broader Topix index, meanwhile, finished 2.76 points, or 0.07 percent, lower at 3,949.09.
On the stock market, the Nikkei was weighed down by the selling of heavyweight semiconductor and artificial intelligence-related issues, with some investors continuing to lock in gains after the benchmark closed at a record high earlier this week.
Meanwhile, government data showing that Japan's real wages in April grew for a fourth consecutive month lent some support to the broader market, analysts said. Enditem
