Tokyo shares end higher as Asian markets gain

TOKYO, Aug 7, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Tokyo stocks ended higher Tuesday along with
other Asian markets following overnight gains on Wall Street, but worries
over a trade war between the US and China still weighed on sentiment.

The benchmark Nikkei 225 index rose 0.69 percent, or 155.42 points, to
22,662.74 while the broader Topix index added 0.76 percent, or 13.15 points,
to 1,746.05.
