TOKYO – Tokyo’s benchmark Nikkei index opened higher today despite United States stocks trading mostly lower as investors fretted over a new coronavirus strain, worrying US data and uncertainty over Brexit talks.
The Nikkei 225 index rose 0.44%, or 115.37 points, to 26,551.76 in early trade, while the broader Topix index added 0.42%, or 7.34 points, at 1,768.46. – AFP, December 23, 2020
