TOKYO, May 23 (Reuters): Japan's Nikkei share average pushed to a fresh 33-year high on Tuesday, helped by a weaker yen and gains for U.S. stock futures amid increased optimism about a debt ceiling deal.
The Nikkei entered the midday break up 0.64% at 31,286.70, putting it on track for a ninth straight winning session, after earlier reaching 31,352.53 for the first time since August 1990.
