Tokyo - Tokyo stocks slipped 0.59 percent Tuesday on profit-taking as investors weighed the effect on exporters of a solid yen against a record close on Wall Street. The Nikkei 225 index at the Tokyo Stock Exchange fell 92.03 points to 15,521.22, while the Topix index of all first-section issues was down 0.49 percent, or 6.30 points, at 1,285.01. "The dollar fell (against the yen) and futures are trading below yesterday's finish, leaving the market ripe for profit-taking," said Hiroichi Nishi, general manager of equities at SMBC Nikko Securities. The dollar was at 103.87 yen in afternoon Tokyo trade, down from 104.01 yen in New York Monday afternoon as its recent rally in anticipation of higher US interest rates ran out of steam. The US unit touched a seven-month high of around 104.20 yen in Tokyo Monday.
