Japan's Nikkei ends lower on profit booking after sharp gains
Update at 0630 GMT
TOKYO, Nov 7 (Reuters) -Japan's Nikkei share average erased its early rise to end lower on Thursday, as investors booked profits following the sharp gains in the previous session.
The Nikkei .N225 fell 0.25% to close at 39,381.41, after rising 2.6% on Wednesday to a three-week closing high.
The benchmark rose as much as 1% earlier in the session, tracking Wall Street's record close overnight after Republican Donald Trump won the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
Trump's victory unleashed a massive rally in the dollar, drove stocks to record highs and punished bond prices.
"Nikkei's reversal indicated that the sharp gains in the previous session were led by short-term investors who bet on a rally on Trump trades," said Takehiko Masuzawa, trading head at Phillip Securities Japan.
"They quickly sold stocks to book profits."

The broader Topix .TOPX ended 1% higher at 2,743.08, with Toyota Motor 7203.T up 2.89%.
Financials gained as bond yields rose, with Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group 8306.T and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group 8316.T up 3% and 2.59%, respectively.
Japan's 10-year government bond yield JP10YTN=JBTC crossed 1% for the first time in over three months.
