Tokyo's main index closes lower as Asian stocks see red
- Session high 22,044.62
- Session low 21,744.25
A bad day for Asian equities as the escalation in the trade war rhetoric between US and China prompts a risk-off sentiment in the market. Japanese stocks end things a little off the lows, but still badly hit overall and that is supporting the yen further in trading today.
The Hang Seng index is now down 1.6% while China's Shanghai Composite index is down 2.3% both moving a little lower after the lunch break.
