Tokyo stocks fell Thursday after two straight days of gains as weak Germany economic data left investors concerned about the outlook for the eurozone economy.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average ended down 62.29 points, or 0.74 percent, at 8,385.59. The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange finished 6.32 points, or 0.86 percent, lower at 727.15.
Almost all 33 sectors declined, led by the securities, iron and steel, and pharmaceutical sectors. The machinery sector and the sea transport sector were the sole gainers. (Mainichi)
