policy measures: The key price indicator suffered the biggest closing loss since Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. presidential election in November last year, according to The Japan Times. On Tuesday, the Nikkei average shed 65.71 points. The 225-issue Nikkei average tumbled 414.50 points, or 2.13 percent, to end at 19,041.38. The Topix index of all first-section issues closed down 33.22 points, or 2.12 percent, at 1,530.20, after losing 2.43 points the previous day. The Dow extended its losing streak amid growing uncertainties over whether Trump can carry out tax reforms and other fiscal and economic policy measures he pledged during his campaign, brokers said. Stocks nose-dived right after the opening bell, as investors rushed to sell in view of the Dow Jones industrial average incurring its heaviest closing point loss in about six months on the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday.
