Tokyo's main index closes the day lower, dragged down by regional equities
- Session high 22,356.54
- Session low 22,205.34
The Nikkei managed pared losses earlier in the session but with Chinese equities put under pressure once again, it's making for a red day in the region as well. The Hang Seng index is now down by more than 1% - with the Shanghai Composite also falling further and the CSI 300 index is now down by more than 2%, looking likely to join the former in entering into a bear market when the clock strikes the hour mark later.
