Tokyo's main index closes higher as Asian stocks end the week with a bang
- Session high 22,769.16
- Session low 22,545.47
A solid end to the week for Asian stocks in general as the tempered inflation reading in the US overnight is helping to lift the mood in equities.
Chinese mainland stocks are the laggards though, mostly weighed down by sentiment due to ZTE halting its operations after the US cut of its access to American suppliers - prompting fears of further escalation in the trade rhetoric between US and China.
