Tokyo: Shares end higher, tracking global rally

[TOKYO] Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index closed higher on Thursday, tracking a global rally but paring earlier gains, as investors bet on fresh Bank of Japan stimulus to negate the impact of Britain's vote to quit the European Union.

The benchmark index closed up 0.06 per cent, or 9.09 points, at 15,575.92, but the Topix index of all first-section shares lost 0.15 per cent, or 1.87 points, to 1,245.82.
