Japan's Main Stock Basket Drops 2% on Global Worries

Japan's main stock basket, the Nikkei, fell 2.0% to 67,644.31 on Oct. 13 amid geopolitical tensions, the Wall Street Journal reported. If you own a broad mix of Japanese stocks, think of it like a 2% shave off that slice. I read this as investors acting on fear, not proven harm to profits.
