TOKYO, Nov 12 (Reuters) – Japan’s Nikkei stock average fell

for a sixth straight day and hit a four-week closing low on

Monday, hurt by concerns over U.S. fiscal woes that threaten to

push the world’s largest economy into recession.

The Nikkei fell 0.9 percent to 8,676.44, and the

broader Topix dropped 1.1 percent to 722.58.
