Tokyo stocks dropped for the third consecutive session Thursday, with the benchmark Nikkei index closing at a one-month low, on renewed fears about the eurozone sovereign debt crisis and its impact on the global financial system.
After losing more than 230 points in the previous session, the 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average ended down 52.38 points, or 0.53 percent, from Wednesday at 9,767.61, the lowest close since March 7 when it finished at 9,576.06.
