    TOKYO stocks opened lower on Wednesday, extending falls on Wall Street as a gloomy US consumer confidence report offset positive news about China’s move to scale back Covid-19 restrictions. 

    The benchmark Nikkei 225 index was down 0.67 per cent, or 235.88 points, at 26,813.59 in early trade, while the broader Topix index slipped 0.79 per cent, or 14.98 points, to 1,892.40. AFP
