Nikkei reaches its highest level in 4 years
Nikkei jumped on Friday and touched its highest level since Lehman Brothers' collapse in 2008 on positive economic outlook for China's growth and news of Japan planning an aggressive monetary policy, as Haruhiko Kuroda, the nominee for BOJ governor's position, pledged to do what it takes to end the falling prices. The Nikkei 225 index climbed 2.6% to 12,283.62 points.
