Japan's Nikkei falls 2 pct on U.S. recession fears

TOKYO, March 10 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei share average fell 2 percent on Monday afternoon, led lower by exporters such as Sony Corp (6758.T: Quote, Profile, Research) after bleak U.S. jobs data added to fears that the world's largest economy is already in recession.

Think so? It's so hard to say anymore. When they have a bad day overseas sometimes it seems the U.S. markets miraculously bucks the trend and moves higher or flat.

Of course we may be seeing the crash currently happening, just 1 - 2% at a time instead of one fell swoop.
