- Japan's Nikkei slipped 2.8% in its first trading session this week after three national holidays, edging near a seven-month low touched earlier this year.
- The fall follows a bruising selloff in China and the U.S. on Wednesday, which took a cue from weak factory performance and a downbeat global environment.
- Meanwhile, the yen has been stuck in a narrow trading range over the past week and last stood little changed at 120.02 to the dollar.
