Asia Markets Tokyo stocks gain on softer yen By Mariko Ando, CBS.MarketWatch.com Last Update: 9:07 PM ET Sep 27, 2001 TOKYO (CBS.MW) -- Tokyo stocks opened sharply higher Friday, as the softer yen against the dollar helped some exporters extend their gains. The Nikkei Average jumped 136.93 to 9,883.46 by early morning. The broader Topix rose 13.45 to 1,017.23. Automakers and game software makers with heavy global exposure rallied on the back of a softer yen. The dollar was trading at 119.74 yen early Friday morning in Tokyo, up from 119.55 yen late Thursday in New York, where it rose as high as 120.05 yen shortly after the Bank of Japan intervened in currency markets. South Korea's Kospi opened up 0.4 percent at 474.29 and Australia's All Ordinaries Index added 0.79 percent to 2,964.80 by early morning.
