Japanese stocks rose on Thursday to snap a four-day losing streak and bouncing from three-week lows, taking heart from Wall Street’s rally overnight and as Greece appeared to inch closer to reaching a cash-for-reform deal with its creditors.
The Nikkei share average ended 1.7 per cent higher at 20,382.97, posting the biggest percentage gain in four months.
The broader Topix gained 1.3 per cent to 1,648.88 and the JPX-Nikkei Index 400 added 1.2 per cent to 14,882.22.
