gains losses: The 225-issue Nikkei stock average ended down 919.84 points from Tuesday at 16,251.54, its biggest one-day drop since June 24 when Britain voted to leave the European Union, according to The Japan Times. The broader Topix index of all first section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange finished 62.33 points, or 4.57 percent, lower at 1,301.16. Panicked investors rushed to unwind bets they had piled on amid pre-vote predictions Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton would win the presidency. Every industry category on the main section lost ground, led by transportation equipment, marine transportation and equipment issues. But stocks gradually lost steam and fluctuated between gains and losses before turning sharply lower as results showing Trump taking key battleground states rolled in. Tokyo stocks were initially on a firm note on growing speculation of a win for Clinton.
