Nikkei tumbles as Greek crisis deepens

Japanese share market declined for third straight session on Monday, 29 June 2015, as investors rushed to the exit on fears that Greece could default on its debt, and ultimately forcing the country to leave the eurozone. The yen hardening against major currency baskets also triggered selloff. The Nikkei Stock Average tumbled 596.20 points, or 2.88%, to finish at 20109.95. The Topix index of all Tokyo Stock Exchange First Section issues dropped 2.53%, or 42.21 points, to close at 1624.82.
