 TOKYO (AP) - Japanese stocks rose Friday for a fourth straight session, climbing to their highest in nearly a month, led by autos, banking and oil issues.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index added 61.41 points, or 0.35 percent, to finish at 17,480.61 points on the Tokyo Stock Exchange — its highest since Feb. 28. The index now has risen 4.4 percent over the past four trading sessions, including a 1.5 percent gain Thursday.
Traders said exporters like autos moved higher amid relative stability in dollar-yen trading, while commodity-related stocks like oils advanced after a rise in oil prices.
