30 July 2001, 10:38 Japan Stocks Review: Nikkei falls to lowest closing level
Tokyo, July 30 (BridgeNews) - Japan's Nikkei 225 Stock Average slumped
1.9% Monday to end at the lowest closing level since January 7, 1985. The
victory by the nation's ruling Liberal Democratic Party at Sunday's House
of Councillors election did little to curb the tumble, led by high tech
shares, as investors awaited the government's concrete outline for further
structural reform measures, traders said. The Nikkei 225 Stock Average
fell 218.81 points to 11,579.27.
