Tokyo stocks close higher
TOKYO, Dec 26, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Tokyo stocks closed higher on Wednesday,
rebounding from the previous day’s five-percent drop as the yen’s rise took a
breather.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index, which on Tuesday closed at a 20-month low
on worries over the US economy, gained 0.89 percent, or 171.32 points, to
19,327.06. The broader Topix index rose 1.12 percent, or 15.92 points, to
1,431.47.
