What happened
The Nikkei 225 index extended its decline to 2%, according to a report from East Money.
At the time of the report, the index stood at 62,744.15.
Why it matters
A 2% drop in a major benchmark is a notable single-session move, suggesting broad selling pressure rather than isolated weakness in a few names.
Because the report only captures a moment in time, it is not clear from the source whether the decline was steady or accelerated sharply.
