Tokyo stocks rally on weak yen

TOKYO, July 10, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Tokyo stocks rose for a third straight
session on Tuesday, backed by gains on Wall Street and the yen’s downwards
trend, as concerns over a US-China trade war receded.

The benchmark Nikkei 225 index rose 0.66 percent or 144.71 points to close
at 22,196.89 while the broader Topix index was up 0.25 percent or 4.34 points
at 1,716.13.
