Tokyo’s Nikkei rises for fourth straight session

TOKYO, April 16, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Tokyo’s benchmark Nikkei index rose for a
fourth consecutive session on Tuesday as gains in blue-chip shares helped
erase early losses.

The Nikkei 225 index, which jumped 1.37 percent the previous day, added
0.24 percent, or 52.55 points, to close at 22,221.66, but the broader Topix
index was down 0.09 percent, or 1.47 points, at 1,626.46.
