TOKYO, Japan (Reuters) — Japan’s Nikkei share average fell to a two-week low on Wednesday (November 2) as worries over the U.S. presidential election prompted a recoil in global markets, with a stronger yen adding to the cautious mood.

The Nikkei fell 1.8 percent to 17,134.68, the lowest closing price since October 19.

It was the biggest daily drop since early August.
