TOKYO, April 20 (Xinhua) Tokyo stocks closed lower Tuesday, with the benchmark Nikkei stock index sinking to a one-month low on concerns that surging virus cases in Japan could lead to stricter business restrictions in urban areas and the slowing of the economic recovery.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average dropped 584.99 points, or 1.97 percent, from Monday to close the day at 29,100.38, marking its lowest closing level since March 25.
The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, meanwhile, lost 30.31 points, or 1.55 percent, to finish at 1,926.25.
