TOKYO: Tokyo stocks jumped 1.59 percent to an eight-month high on Thursday as a weaker yen buoyed Japanese exporters, with investors betting on more central bank easing.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index rose 152.27 points by the break to 9,733.73, its highest point since early April, while the broader Topix index of all first-section shares rose 1.18 percent, or 9.33 points, at 800.62.
