Shares fell Thursday in Asia as weak economic data from China and Japan deepened concerns over ongoing reductions in U.S. monetary stimulus. Japan's Nikkei 225 index was down 2.6 percent at 14,887.96 after the government reported that retail sales fell 1.1 percent in December from the month before. It gained slightly and closed at 15,007.06 for the day. (AP Photo/Koji Sasahara)
