Tokyo stocks fell Thursday morning, tracking a decline on Wall Street following an indecisive outcome in the U.S. midterm elections with an unexpectedly tight race between Democrats and Republicans.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average fell 325.43 points, or 1.17 percent, from Wednesday to 27,391.00. The broader Topix index was down 16.75 points, or 0.86 percent, at 1,932.74.
On the top-tier Prime Market, decliners were led by mining, oil and coal product, and transportation equipment issues.
