Tokyo stocks open higher as yen remains cheaper
TOKYO, Sept 11, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Tokyo stocks opened higher on Tuesday
despite lingering worries about trade issues as the yen lost ground against
the dollar, which tends to boost stocks.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index was up 0.45 percent or 101.19 points at
22,474.28 in early trade, while the broader Topix index was up 0.19 percent
or 3.29 points at 1,690.90.
