Tokyo shares end higher, tracking global rally

TOKYO, (APP/AFP) – Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 index closed higher on Thursday, tracking a global rally but paring earlier gains, as investors bet on fresh Bank of Japan stimulus to negate the impact of Britain’s vote to quit the European Union.
The benchmark index closed up 0.06 percent, or 9.09 points, at 15,575.92, but the Topix index of all first-section shares lost 0.15 percent, or 1.87 points, to 1,245.82.
