Tokyo - QNA
Tokyo stocks staged a rebound Thursday, with the Nikkei index ending at a roughly one-and-a-half-month high, as a weaker yen lifted export-related issues and reports that the Japanese government is arranging to compile a 20 trillion yen about ($186 billion) stimulus package boosted sentiment.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average ended up 128.33 points, or 0.77%, from Wednesday at 16,810.22, according to Japan's (Kyodo) News Agency.
The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange finished 8.64 points, or 0.65 percent, higher at 1,339.39.
