Tokyo stocks opened lower on Wednesday extending falls on Wall Street, with investors spooked by a Moody's downgrade of several banks and weak China trade data.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index was down 0.31 percent, or 101.12 points, at 32,276.17 in early trade, while the broader Topix index trimmed 0.39 percent, or 8.87 points, to 2,282.86.
