"Tokyo's stock exchange closed early for the first time in its history on Wednesday, in a bid to head off a meltdown after a frantic day's trading."

The move was sparked by heavy selling in shares following allegations of fraud at internet firm Livedoor.

It only closed 20 minutes early and all will be back to normal tomorrow. No need to head for the fallout shelters just yet.

I shall certainly be investing in the forthcoming Tokyo stock fire sale after the dust has settled.

Perfect.
