The Tokyo Stock Exchange gains 2% due to confidence in the economic recovery

The Tokyo Stock Exchange ended today with an advance of 2.09% in the Nikkei, its main indicator. It was encouraged by the confidence in the economic recovery as the campaign progresses vaccination in Japan.

The Nikkei ended up 582.01 points to 28,406.84 integers. Meanwhile, the broader Topix index finished with a gain of 28.88 points or 1.54%, up to 1,907.74 integers.
