Nikkei surges 2pc
(03-19 10:43)
Stocks in Tokyo were up 2.02 percent in the morning as the yen weakened against the dollar and euro after the euro zone told Cyprus to drop its controversial levy on smaller bank deposits.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index, which tumbled 2.71 percent on jitters over Cyprus banking woes yesterday, gained 246.55 points to 12,467.18 by the break, while the Topix index of all first-section shares climbed 1.70 percent, or 17.52 points, to 1,045.86.- AFP
