TOKYO, June 20 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei stock average
slipped 1.3 percent on Friday, led down by Kyocera Corp <6971.T>
and other blue chip stocks as many investors come to view the
recent rise in Japanese shares as over for now.
Inpex Holdings <1605.T> and other oil-related shares slid as
oil prices fell after China said it will raise domestic fuel
prices.
The benchmark Nikkei <.N225> ended down 188.09 points at
13,942.08, extending losses after a 2.2 percent decline on
Thursday.
The broader Topix <.TOPX> shed 1.4 percent to 1,356.74.
