- Story Text: Japan's Nikkei share average rose above the psychologically important 20,000-point level to its highest value since August 2015 on Friday (June 2) as strong U.S. stocks and the rising dollar lifted investors' risk appetite.
The Nikkei swept through 20,000 in early morning trade making a 1.3 percent advance to 20,115.23.
The broader Topix advanced 1.1 percent to 1,603.08 and the JPX-Nikkei Index 400 gained 1.1 percent to 14,303.65. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
