Nikkei rises to highest level since January

Japanese share market closed at highest level in over seven months on Tuesday, 02 September 2014, as yen depreciation against basket of major currencies and speculation over pro-pension reform ministers spirited risk appetite for stocks. The benchmark Nikkei 225 index added 1.24%, or 192 points, to finish at 15668.60, its best finish since 22 January 2014, while the Topix index of all first-section shares climbed 1.1%, or 13.94 points, to 1297.
