Tracking falls on Wall Street, the Nikkei opened sharply lower amid continued uncertainty over the standoff in Ukraine. Tokyo stocks close lower on Ukraine fears But buybacks then took hold among investors on the news that Blinken has agreed to meet Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov next week, provided there is no invasion before then. The announcement "reassured the market that at the very least, there is unlikely to be any imminent invasion by Russia," Makoto Sengoku, senior equity market analyst at Tokai Tokyo Securities, told AFP. "The prospect of Washington-Moscow talks offered slight hopes of a resolution to the current crisis, and that kind of expectation likely helped narrow drops," Sengoku said.
