6 April 2001, 10:07 Japan Stocks: Nikkei ends AM up 0.9% after Nasdaq surge
By Mai Iida
Tokyo, April 6 (BridgeNews) - Japanese shares ended the morning
session higher Friday led by tech issues following a nearly 9% surge on
the Nasdaq overnight. The market opened strongly but profit-taking trimmed
early gains as the long-awaited release of the Japanese government's
economic proposals failed to offer any positive surprise, traders said.
The Nikkei 225 Stock Average rose 119.13 points, or 0.9%, to 13,500.51.
