TOKYO: Japan's Nikkei share average climbed to an all-time high on Friday, as tech stocks jumped following strong sales forecasts overnight from Apple and Amazon.
A weaker yen was also a tailwind for Japan's heavyweight exporters, following its slide to a record low against the euro and the lowest level since February versus the dollar on Thursday.
