Japan Stock Market Crash 2025 Nikkei 225 Plunges Into Bear Market After Worst Fall Since COVID-19
Japan Stock Market Crash 2025 Nikkei 225 Plunges Into Bear Market After Worst Fall Since COVID-19 In a dramatic turn of events global stock markets especially across Asia have witnessed one of their worst downtrends since the COVID-19 crisis. The Tokyo Nikkei 225 Index has taken center stage with an alarming plunge of 7.83% on Monday alone. This latest decline caps a brutal three day rout that has slashed 12.85% off the index and dragged Japan's premier stock index into bear market territory down a staggering 22.32% from its 2025 high set in July 2024. The Nikkei’s steep decline has sent shockwaves through global financial communities with market analysts scrambling to decipher the causes behind such a dramatic fall. While a bear market is typically defined as a decline of 20% or more from recent highs the Nikkei has exceeded that threshold confirming the worst fears of investors who had already been wary amid persistent global uncertainties. Year to date the index has lost 21.95% of its value marking one of the worst performances not seen since the market upheaval caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This drop is not just a statistical blip it's a reflection of deeper economic anxieties ranging from sluggish domestic demand slowing exports and concerns over the central bank’s tightening monetary policies.
