Nikkei 225 falls more than 5%, hovering near bear market territory, as Asia-Pacific sell-off continues
CNBC ^ | 8/4/2024 | By Lim Hui Jie

Posted on 08/04/2024 6:51:20 PM PDT by NohSpinZone

Asia-Pacific markets continued Friday’s sell-off as investors awaited key trade data from China and Taiwan this week, as well as central bank decisions from Australia and India.

At these levels, both the Nikkei and Topix are nearing bear market territory, having fallen almost 20% from their all-time highs on July 11.

Monday’s decline follows Friday’s rout when Japan’s Nikkei 225 and Topix fell more than 5% and 6%, respectively. The broader Topix marked its worst day in eight years, while the Nikkei marked its worst day since March 2020.

In early Monday trading, the yen also strengthened to its highest level against the dollar since January, and was last trading at 145.42.

On Monday, S&P Global will release service sector activity figures for countries around the region, including India and China.

Warren Buffett unloaded a ton of stocks last week. I see why now. This week is going to suck bad.
