Japan’s Nikkei share average struggled for traction on Wednesday and the broader Topix dipped after weak U.S. economic data stoked fears of a global recession and soured investor sentiment. The benchmark Nikkei average ended up 0.12% at 20,649.14 points, while the broader Topix dropped 0.26% to 1,506.81. Cyclical sectors came under pressure, with metal products , iron and steel among worst performing sectors on the Topix.
