Japanese Market Significantly Lower
TOKYO (dpa-AFX) - The Japanese stock market is significantly lower on Friday, extending the losses of the previous two sessions, with the benchmark Nikkei 225 just breaking below the 28,000 mark, following the negative cues overnight from Wall Street, as traders are spooked by the spike in the fresh wave of COVID-19 infections. They also await the Bank of Japan s monetary policy decision due later today.
Japan has already declared a fourth state of emergency for Tokyo until August 22 to combat a recent surge in infections ahead of the Olympic Games opening ceremony in the city in a week. The Tokyo metropolitan government reported 1308 new infections on Thursday, the highest figure since mid-January.
