Japan’s central bank props up money markets

Post by Chiron »

TOKYO | Japan's central bank injected a record 7 trillion yen ($85.5 billion) into money markets, and the Tokyo stock market nosedived Monday on the first business day since an earthquake and tsunami devastated the country’s northeast and raised dire worries about the economy.

The benchmark Nikkei 225 stock average fell 487 points, or 4.8 percent, to 9,767.18. Worries about the economic impact of the disaster triggered a broad sell-off that hit all sectors.

No new news. The market is often impacted by natural disasters. Look at the drop in the US markets following 9-11 (no, tat was not a natural disaster).
