Tokyo stocks end higher on cheaper yen
TOKYO, June 24 (Xinhua) -- Tokyo stocks closed higher on Monday as the yen's weakness against the U.S. dollar supported buying of a wide range of export-oriented issues.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei stock index, the 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average, ended up 208.18 points, or 0.54 percent, from Friday at 38,804.65.
The broader Topix index, meanwhile, finished 15.50 points, or 0.57 percent, higher at 2,740.19.
