TOKYO, April 16 (Reuters) – Japan’s Nikkei share average

fell 1.2 percent at the open on Monday on renewed concerns about

Europe’s debt crisis after rising bond yields in Spain and a

record-high cost of insuring the country’s debt against default

spooked investors.

The benchmark Nikkei lost 109.71 points to 9,528.63

after two previous sessions of gains, while the broader Topix

fell 1 percent to 807.74.
