Tokyo Stocks, as measured by the 225-issue Nikkei average, appear to have hit a second bottom, which is widely considered as a support level.
After having hit a 17-year low of 9,504.41 on Sept. 17, the key market gauge slipped below the 10,000 level at one time on Nov. 13.
The September low could prove to be rock bottom for the year.
