Tokyo stocks open lower following U.S. market decline
Tokyo stocks opened lower on May 8, with the Nikkei 225 falling 179 yen from the previous session to 62,654 yen.
In the previous session's U.S. market, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 313 points, and the Nasdaq Composite also declined. Concerns mounted over uncertainties surrounding efforts to end hostilities between the United States and Iran. Tracking the retreat in U.S. equities, the Tokyo market followed suit at the open. Meanwhile, the dollar was trading around 156.80 yen.
