Tokyo’s Nikkei closes down over 2 percent
TOKYO, Feb 8, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Tokyo shares closed lower on Friday,
following a global market slide stemming from the lowered European economic
outlook as well as receding hopes for smooth progress in US-China trade
talks.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index dropped 2.01 percent or 418.11 points to
end at 20,333.17, while the broader Topix index lost 1.89 percent or 29.63
points to 1,539.40.
