Tokyo’s Nikkei index rises for fourth straight session
TOKYO, Aug 24, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Tokyo’s benchmark Nikkei index rose for a
fourth straight session on Friday helped by a cheaper yen against the dollar
and extending rallies in global stocks which shrugged off a US-China tariff
row.
The Nikkei 225 index gained 0.85 percent or 190.95 points to close at
22,601.77, while the broader Topix index was up 0.65 percent or 10.98 points
at 1,709.20.
