Nikkei Index Hit 8 Month High on Weak Yen

Japan's Nikkei average hit its highest point in eight months on Monday as a weaker yen raised prospects for exporters and the global economic outlook was buoyed by fewer-than-expected US job cuts in May.

Market players said the Nikkei could soon reach the psychological 10,000 yen mark with this momentum going. It is a good surprise since Nikkei has recovered about 40 % since its bottom in March.
