Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell more than 5%, taking its decline from a June peak to 20% and placing the index in technical bear-market territory. The move signals a sharp selloff in Asian equities. The latest loss and the decline from June describe different spans of the retreat. The 5% figure captures the latest drop, while 20% measures how far the index has fallen from its June high. That comparison puts the current level in the context of the peak and marks the threshold behind the bear-market classification.
