Nikkei closes highest since September 2008
(02-06 15:00)
Tokyo's benchmark Nikkei 225 index on Wednesday soared to its highest close since September 2008, when the global financial crisis was rippling across global equity markets.
The Nikkei jumped 3.77 percent, or 416.83 points, to 11,463.75 on a spike in risk sentiment and as the yen plunged on surprise news that the head of the Bank of Japan would quit early, AFP reports.
