Tokyo stocks fell Monday morning, dragged down by selling of technology shares and fears over aggressive rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average shed 124.81 points, or 0.43 percent, from Friday to 28,805.52. The broader Topix index was down 3.65 points, or 0.18 percent, at 1,990.87.
On the top-tier Prime Market, decliners were led by service, nonferrous metal and electric appliance issues.
