TOKYO – The Nikkei stock index rose sharply to mark a record intraday high on Wednesday morning, boosted by firm technology issues following advances by their U.S. counterparts.<\/p>\n

\n

The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average rose 823.99 points, or 1.44 percent, from Tuesday to 58,145.08. The broader Topix index was up 12.45 points, or 0.33 percent, at 3,828.43.<\/p>\n

The U.S. dollar briefly rose close to the 156 yen line in Tokyo after a report Tuesday that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi expressed reluctance about further interest rate hikes by the Bank of Japan at a meeting earlier this month with its chief Kazuo Ueda, dealers said.<\/p>\n

At noon, the dollar fetched 155.46-47 yen compared with 155.85-95 yen in New York and 156.10-11 yen in Tokyo at 5 p.m. Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The euro was quoted at $1.1791-1794 and 183.30-36 yen against $1.1769-1779 and 183.49-59 yen in New York and $1.1779-1780 and 183.88-92 yen in Tokyo late Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The Nikkei stock index surpassed the 58,000 line to renew an intraday record for the first time since Feb. 12, buoyed by heavyweight technology shares as software-related issues climbed on the U.S. market.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Kawasaki Heavy Industries fell after their subsidiaries were listed as among 20 defense-related entities subject to China’s export ban for dual-use items amid a diplomatic row.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
