12 March 2001, 09:54 Nikkei tumbles 3% in AM session despite strong GDP data
Tokyo, March 12 (BridgeNews) - Japanese shares ended the morning
session sharply lower as Friday's weak performance on Wall Street dampened
issues across the board. The government's emergency economic stimulus
package unveiled Friday and slightly stronger-than-expected GDP data
released early Monday also failed to evoke a positive response. The Nikkei
fell 378.45 points, or 3.0%, to 12249.45, after temporarily recording a
400-point decline.
