Japanese stocks rose for a second day after metal prices gained, U.S. wholesale inventories climbed and the stronger euro boosted the earnings prospects for electronics makers.
Toyota Motor Corp., which gets 31 percent of its revenue in North America, rose 0.8 percent. Canon Inc., a camera maker that counts Europe as its biggest market, climbed 1.1 percent after European governments offered debt-burdened Greece cheaper loans. Mitsubishi Corp., a trading company that gets 39 percent of its sales from commodities, advanced 0.9 percent.
“The normalization of the U.S. economy and the progress on the Greece debt issue are making it easier for investors to take more risk,” said Tomochika Kitaoka, a senior strategist at Mizuho Securities Co. in Tokyo.
The Nikkei 225 Stock Average advanced 0.8 percent to 11,290.40 as of 9:04 a.m. in Tokyo. The broader Topix index rose 0.7 percent to 996.26.
In New York, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index climbed 0.7 percent on April 9 to the highest close since September 2008. Inventories at U.S. wholesalers rose 0.6 percent in February, suggesting businesses are ramping up orders, a Commerce Department report showed. Economists had estimated a 0.4 percent increase.
European governments offered Greece a rescue package valued at as much as 45 billion euros ($61.3 billion) at below-market interest rates as they try to end its fiscal crisis and restore confidence in the euro.
