New York, Tokyo The price slide on the stock markets in Asia weakened only slightly on Tuesday. The price barometer for Japan’s top 225 companies, the Nikkei 225 index, accelerated its losses again after a stable morning after the lunch break and broke through the 25,000 point mark. At 1:44 p.m. local time, the Nikkei 225 was down 1.2 percent from the previous day at 24,916.48 points. The Tokyo Stock Exchange’s more broadly weighted Topix index even fell 1.3 percent to 1770.17 points.
The other Asian markets also turned negative again after a promising start. South Korea’s Kospi index was up 0.8 percent by 1:30 p.m. local time, and the Shanghai Composite Index was even two percent by midday in China. Even Hong Kong’s Hangseng index, which had risen in early trade, slipped back below Monday’s levels.
