TOKYO, Sept 5: Japan’s Nikkei share average fell to near a five-week closing low on Wednesday as soft U.S. manufacturing data and construction spending added to concerns about a global economic slowdown.
The Nikkei shed 1.1 percent to 8,679.82, falling for the fifth straight session to log its longest losing run since early July and breaking below its 75-day moving average at 8,767.82.
The broader Topix lost 1.2 percent to 718.09. (AGENCIES)
