TOKYO, Oct 15, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Tokyo’s benchmark Nikkei index jumped to a
near-six-month high Tuesday as investors played catch-up with global rallies
on a US-China trade deal, with a weekend typhoon failing to dampen sentiment.
The Nikkei 225 index gained 1.87 percent, or 408.34 points, to close at
22,207.21, the highest since late April. The broader Topix index was up 1.56
percent, or 24.93 points, at 1,620.20.
