[TOKYO] Japanese stocks fell on Monday in thin trade as the yen stayed strong and data showed economic growth stalled in the second quarter, hurting investor sentiment.
The Nikkei dropped 0.3 per cent to 16,869.56.
The broader Topix fell 0.5 per cent to 1,316.63, with only 1.24 billion shares changing hands, the lowest level since April 2014, with many market participants away due to Japan's 'bon' holidays.
