TOKYO (Updated)–Tokyo stocks extSee Titleed recent gains Thursday, with the benchmark index briefly rising above the 9600 mark for the first time in six and a half months as the yen’s recent downward trSee Title continued stoking expectations for a market recovery, pushing up major brokerages such as Nomura Holdings.

The Nikkei Stock Average added 41.57 points, or 0.4%, to 9595.57 following the prior session’s 1.0% rise. It was the highest closing level since Aug. 4.

The Topix index of all the Tokyo Stock Exchange First Section issues rose 3.95 points, or 0.5%, to 829.35, with 24 of 33 subindexes closing in positive territory.

Trading volume was robust, totaling about 2.5 billion shares, surpassing the 2 billion mark for the 18th consecutive session.

The Nikkei opened lower following a decline in New York stocks and euro-zone data showing business activity unexpectedly contracted in February. The Nikkei, however, showed resilience in response to the yen’s recent declines.

“A weakening yen is stoking expectations for a V-shaped recovery in Japanese firms’ earnings,” said Hiroichi Nishi, general manager of the equity division at SMBC Nikko Securities. The dollar rose to a seven-month high of Y80.40 Wednesday in New York.

Yoshihiro Okumura, general manager at Chibagin Asset Management, said some investors are targeting last summer’s Nikkei highs of around 10,100 by the See Title of this fiscal year in March.

Shares of Japanese brokerages rose along with the increase in trading volume amid expectations there would be further demand for stock trading.

Nomura Holdings rose 4.2% to Y376 and Daiwa Securities Group added 4.0% to Y335.

Real estate stocks gained following a report by the land ministry Wednesday showing that the declining trSee Title in land prices shows signs of reversing.

Sumitomo Realty & Development rose 2.7% to Y1,833. Mitsui Fudosan added 2.3% to Y1,490.

Meanwhile, Mazda Motor lost 6.8% to Y137 amid dilution concerns after the company said Wednesday it will raise up to Y162.8 billion in a major new share issuance as it seeks to expand production capacity overseas and develop new technologies.

March Nikkei 225 futures closed flat at 9570 on the Osaka Securities Exchange.
