Japan’s Nikkei 225 has officially entered a bear market after a sharp stock-market selloff, with the index down more than 20% from its recent peak. The move marks a significant deterioration in Japanese equity sentiment and puts the benchmark on track for a technical bear market. The selloff is notable because it comes despite Japan’s equity market having been one of the stronger developed-market performers earlier in the year. Investors will now watch whether the decline deepens or stabilizes, and whether the weakness spreads to other Asian markets and global risk assets.
