Tokyo’s Nikkei index ends down over 2.0% after Wall St plunge

TOKYO, Nov 13, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Tokyo’s benchmark Nikkei index closed down
more than 2.0 percent on Tuesday, with investors discouraged by a plunge in
US shares on fears over demand in the tech sector.

The Nikkei 225 index, which fell more than 3.5 percent in early trade,
closed at 21,810.52 points, down 2.06 percent or 459.36 points.

The broader Topix index was down 2.00 percent or 33.50 points at 1,638.45.
