Down at Asia’s leading stock exchanges – Västerbotten Courier

The Tokyo Stock Exchange opened down on Wednesday as the stronger yen affected export markets and investors dismissed a large stimulus package from the government.

The Nikkei 225 index dropped 1, 5 percent shortly after opening, while the broader Topixindexet fell by 1.8 percent.

in Hong Kong it went in the same direction in early trading. Exchange was closed on the day before, and investors therefore tried on Wednesday to catch up with the rest of the world markets sales. The Hang Seng Index fell 1.7 percent.

The Shanghai Composite Index was down a modest 0.3 percent.
