[TOKYO] Tokyo stocks closed lower Tuesday on concerns over fresh lockdowns in Europe and the prospects for US stimulus, with many investors sticking to the sidelines ahead of corporate earnings.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index fell 0.96 per cent, or 276.11 points, to 28,546.18 while the broader Topix index lost 0.75 per cent, or 14.00 points, to 1,848.00. "The worsening situation in Europe discouraged investors from taking risks today," said Toshikazu Horiuchi, a broker at IwaiCosmo Securities.
