Japan's Nikkei touches 6-month low, tracking Wall Street's sharp fall
The Nikkei index fell 0.64% to close at 36,793.11, after falling to as low as 35,987.13, its lowest since September 17.
U.S. stocks plunged on Monday as relentless tariff wrangling and mounting anxieties from a possible federal government shutdown gave rise to fears that the U.S. economy could be careening into recession.
But S&P and Nasdaq futures reversed course in Asia trade, prompting investors to cover their short positions, said Shigetoshi Kamada, general manager at the research department at Tachibana Securities.
«After all, Japan's economy does not seem to decline so investors bought back stocks they sold earlier in the session,» said Kamada.
