Tokyo stocks close higher after Wall St gains

TOKYO, Sept 14, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Tokyo stocks closed higher on Friday,
backed by a weaker yen and gains on Wall Street, as traders took comfort in
more conciliatory messages on US-China trade battles.

The benchmark Nikkei 225 index rose 1.20 percent or 273.35 points to end
at 23,094.67, while the broader Topix index added 1.09 percent or 18.59
points to 1,728.61.
