Japan Stocks Rise, Dollar Down Vs Yen

Tuesday, August 15, 2006 10:18:45 PM

Visitors to the Tokyo Stock Exchange exhibition floor look at a stock indicator in Tokyo Monday, Aug. 14, 2006. Tokyo's stock markets finished a light trading day Monday, as low volumes lessened the impact of problems associated with the benchmark Nikkei 225 stock index's failure to update due to a technical glitch. A Tokyo-area power outage Monday morning caused a malfunction in the computer system that calculates the Nikkei indexes - including the benchmark Nikkei 225 - and led it to stop updating in the early afternoon, according to a statement from the Nihon Keizai business daily, which compiles and publishes the indexes. (AP Photo/Koji Sasahara)TOKYO (AP) - Japanese stocks rose in early trade Wednesday following Wall Street's overnight strength. The dollar was down against the yen.

The Nikkei 225 index added 180.84 points, or 1.14 percent, to 15,997.03 points at the close of morning trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

The broader Topix index, which includes all shares on the exchange's first section, was up 18.13 points, or 1.13 percent, to 1,623.25 points.
