ENM: Nikkei drops as stronger yen, China worries hurt sentiment
TOKYO: Japan's Nikkei share average dropped on Monday, extending losses from Friday as a stronger yen made investors risk averse, while sentiment was also hurt by weak China shares on concerns about slower growth in the world's second-biggest economy.
The Nikkei ended 0.6 per cent lower at 14,006.44. The broader Topix declined 0.8 per cent to 1,150.07, while the new JPX-Nikkei Index 400 slipped 0.7 per cent to 10,491.39.
