Japan's Nikkei 225 index fell by 12.4% on August 5, 2024, marking a significant downturn in response to concerns over the U.S. economy's health following disappointing job growth data. The drop signifies a continuation of global sell-offs, with the broader TOPIX index also experiencing a steep decline. The unease extends to other markets, with major indices in South Korea and Taiwan suffering significant losses, reflecting a broader anxiety surrounding potential recession risks.
