Nikkei hits 2-mth low as stronger yen hurts exporters
TOKYO, Sept 28 |
TOKYO, Sept 28 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei average slid more than 2 percent to hit a two-month low on Monday, dragged down by exporters such as Honda Motor (7267.T) on a sharply stronger yen and after disappointing housing and durable goods data fuelled worries about the strength of a U.S. recovery.
The benchmark Nikkei .N225 fell 2.1 percent to 10,046.07, and fell as low as 10,018.13, its lowest level since late July.
