Tokyo stocks sank Tuesday after an extended Golden Week, with China-linked shares sold amid renewed U.S.-China trade tensions.
The Nikkei 225 average ended down 335.01 points, or 1.51 percent, from April 26 at 21,923.72. The market had been closed during the unprecedented 10-day holiday through Monday that was extended to celebrate new Emperor Naruhito's enthronement. The broader Topix finished 18.09 points, or 1.12 percent, lower at 1,599.84.
Decliners were led by mining, machinery, and glass and ceramics product issues.
