The leading Nikkei Average lost 110.16 points, or 1.1 percent, to end the morning session at 9,681.27. The gauge now stands only 180 points above a post-bubble closing low of 9,504.41.

On Friday, the Nikkei had fallen below the Dow Jones Industrial Average for the first time since 1957.

The broader Topix was down 0.9 percent at 947.39, poised to set a new 17-year closing low.

Selling accelerated on published surveys of plunging approval ratings for Koizumi, which raise concerns in investment circles about his ability to carry out radical economic and reforms.
