Nikkei 225 In Positive Territory

The Japanese stock market closed in positive territory today with the Nikkei index advancing for the first time in the last four sessions.

Nikkei rose by 0.48% and stood at 18,182.39 points.

Oil Markets Continue To Decline

Oil prices continue to fall in Asia today, in the wake of rising stocks while the production is reduced in the US.

Earlier, the price of US crude oil contracts for October delivery was down by $0.14 at $46.11 a barrel, while the price of October Brent oil fell by $0.10 at $50.40.

The prices follow a downward trend after the weak data on manufacturing in China and the reduced expectations for demand and growth in the US.

France: Unemployment Remained Unchanged At 10.3% In The Second Quarter
