TOKYO: Tokyo stocks tumbled 3.83 percent to close at a two-month low on Wednesday after Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe delivered few surprises in a closely watched speech on pumping up the nation's economy.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index fell 518.89 points to 13,014.87, its worst finish since early April, while the Topix index of all first-section issues lost 3.15 percent, or 35.44 points, to 1,090.03. (AFP)
