Tokyo's main stock index closes lower on the day, taking a cue from US stocks yesterday
- Session high 22,528.21
- Session low 22,119.21
This is the biggest drop posted by the index since March.
It was down about 2.06% on the day during the lows, but closed the day off those lows posted. It's pretty much a continuation from yesterday's move in the US where stocks all ended up in the red as well.
Looking at other parts in Asia, the Hang Seng index is down 1.97% while the Shanghai Composite is down 1.24% on the day so far. Earlier, the ASX 200 closed the day lower by 0.44%.
