TOKYO (Reuters) - The Nikkei average fell to a five-week low on Monday after hedge funds unwound positions in construction machinery makers, spurred by Nomura Securities' downgrades on sagging China demand, with investors eyeing more losses for the benchmark after it breached a key support level.
The benchmark NIKKEI (NIKKEI225.)average <.N225> closed down 1.5 percent at 9,460.63, while the broader Topix <.TOPX> shed 1.2 percent to 817.68.
