    [TOKYO] Tokyo stocks jumped 2.4 per cent at the open on Friday after strong US economic data sent Wall Street flying and extended a global rally that saw a surge in Chinese equities.

    The benchmark Nikkei 225 index at the Tokyo Stock Exchange rose 445.58 points to 19,020.02, a few minutes after the opening bell.
