Tokyo Nikkei bolts 5 pct higher in late morning
Tuesday December 16, 9:05 pm Eastern Time

TOKYO, Dec 17 (Reuters) - Tokyo stocks benchmark surged over
five percent in late trading on Wednesday morning cheered by
Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto's announcement a 2 trillion
yen special income tax cut will be implemented.

As of 0144 GMT, the Nikkei average was up 805.90 points or
5.04 percent at 16,791.11, erasing losses which
brought it to a low of 15,795.20 early in the morning.

Its March futures were up 880 at 16,850, 120 points away from
the daily limit.

''This is the sort of news that the market has been waiting for,''
a trader at a middle-sized brokerage said.

Hashimoto on Wednesday announced a one-off cut in the national
income tax to jump-start the country's stalled economy.

Opps, I've compounded your felony!<g>
