Japanese stocks rose
following a global rally as the central bank began a two-day meeting and
investors assessed the impact of an historic accord to ease trade in
goods and services among a dozen Pacific-rim nations.
The Topix index added
1.4 percent to 1,484.59 as of 9:01 a.m. in Tokyo, rising for a fifth
day. The Nikkei 225 Stock Average climbed 1.5 percent to 18,726.19. U.S.
stocks staged the longest rally of the year, while a benchmark gauge of
equities in Europe jumped to the most since August. The yen traded at
120.47 per dollar as central bank policy officials began deliberations
on monetary policy, with an announcement due tomorrow.
Only two of 36
economists forecast the Bank of Japan will expand monetary stimulus
Wednesday, according to a Bloomberg News survey conducted last week.
Fifteen expected easing at the following meeting on Oct. 30.
