Asian-Pacific benchmarks closed mostly down after the Nikkei fell off a four-year intraday high to close down 0.7%, reflecting consumer confidence decline in September and a decision of the Bank of Japan to leave monetary policy unchanged. Across the region, South Korea’s Kospi tumbled 2.2% on tech shares sell-off after LG Philips released lowered earnings outlook. Shares in Hong Hong dropped 2.2%, while in Australia gained 0.8%.
