TOKYO: Japanese stocks extend their climb, putting the Topix on track for its longest winning streak in 16 years, after the United States and China agreed to de-escalate tariffs, boosting risk-on sentiment and sending the yen lower.
The benchmark gauge rose as much as 1.9% to 2,794.96 in Tokyo, heading for a 13th straight day of gains, the most since August 2009.
