TOKYO, June 12 (Xinhua) -- Tokyo stocks ended lower Friday, after a dicey start which saw the benchmark Nikkei stock index sank 3 percent on growing concerns about a resurgence of COVID-19 cases in the United States.

The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average dropped 167.43 points, or 0.75 percent, from Thursday to close the day at 22,305.48, marking its lowest closing level since June 1.

The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, meanwhile, lost 18.24 points, or 1.15 percent, to finish at 1,570.68.

Mining, nonferrous metal and metal product-oriented issues comprised those that declined the most by the close of play.
