TOKYO, June 10 |
TOKYO, June 10 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei average hit its highest point in eight months on Wednesday, boosted by resource shares such as trading firm Mitsubishi Corp (8058.T) after oil prices marked a seven-month high above $70 a barrel amid hopes for a recovery in the global economy.
The benchmark Nikkei .N225 advanced 1.4 percent to 9,925.23, after briefly touching its highest level since October 8.
