Japan’s Nikkei share average rose on Wednesday, buoyed by record finishes on Wall Street on hopes that the new US administration will focus on growth measures.
The Nikkei gained 1.4 per cent to 19,057.50.
The broader Topix and the JPX-Nikkei Index 400 both added 1.0 per cent to 1,521.58 and 13,635.86, respectively.
Takata Corp jumped 18 per cent, rising by their daily limit after four days of steep decline brought about by investor fear of a court-mediated bankruptcy.
