TOKYO, Nov 14, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Tokyo stocks closed marginally higher on

trade talks and Britain’s announcement of a draft exit deal with the European
Union.

Tuesday, edged up 0.16 percent or 35.96 points, to close at 21,846.48 while
the broader Topix index was up 0.17 percent or 2.81 points at 1,641.26.
