A magnitude 6.5 earthquake struck off the coast of Japan earlier Thursday, but analysts said it is unlikely to have any effect on the country’s stock market.
The earthquake, centered near Hachijojima Island south of Tokyo, raised a tsunami warning but appears to have caused little damage. It followed another strong earthquake in Japan on Tuesday.
Japan’s Ministry of Energy, Trade and Industry says that there were no reports of damages to the country’s power plants.
