Nikkei climbed 2.6% during trading, but then lost its advantage and closed with a fall of 1.04% to 16.552.83 points, the lowest level since November 2016. Over the past four weeks, it has fallen by about 30%.
The wider Topix continued to show better dynamics than Nikkei, rising 0.97% to 1,283.22 points.
