Closing in rally for the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The Nikkei ended trading with a 3,77% jump to 11.463,75 points, 416,83 points higher than yesterday's close. This is the highest level since September 2008.
Pushing the index was above all the decline of the yen against other currencies, especially the dollar (at a 33-month low), following the announcement that Bank of Japan Governor Masaaki Shirakawa will leave office on March 19, three weeks early.
The upward revision of the prices also contributed to supporting the price list Toyota Motor goals – plus approximately 6% – and Mitsubishi Heavy Machinery (+10,35%).
