Tokyo: Stocks close at 10-month high
[TOKYO] Tokyo stocks rallied Friday as the yen sank against the dollar on rising expectations of a US rate hike next month, with the benchmark index hitting a 10-month high.
The headline Nikkei 225 gained 0.59 per cent, or 104.78 points, to end at 17,967.41, a whisker below the psychologically key 18,000 mark and its best level since early January.
