Positive closure for the Tokyo Stock Exchange, which helped by a recovery of the dollar, managed to reverse gears after a weak start. The Nikkei index of leading stocks thus closed the session up 0,30% at 15.708,65 points. The broader Topix index up 0,19% to 1.282,54 points.
Yesterday the Nikkei index had slipped by 2,61%, falling below the threshold of 16 thousand points, on fears for the disappointing macro indicators of Europe and the USA, the demonstrations in Hong Kong and for an extension of the Ebola epidemic.
