TOKYO, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei share average
fell more than 1% on Tuesday as the market reacted to U.S.
President-elect Donald Trump's fresh promises of tariffs.
Trump on Monday said that on his first day in office he
would impose a 25% tariff on all products from Mexico and Canada
and an additional 10% tariff on goods from China, citing
concerns over illegal immigration and trade of illicit drugs.
At 0108 GMT, the Nikkei index was down 1.5% to 38,209.47,
while the broader Topix slid 1.3%.
A majority of the Nikkei's 225 constituents were down, with
only 41 advancers against 183 decliners.
The largest percentage losses in the index were IHI Corp ( IHICF )
, which shed 5.6%, followed by Fujikura ( FKURF ) and
Kawasaki Heavy Industries ( KWHIF ) losing 5.5% and 5%,
respectively.
