(ANSA) - TOKYO, FEBRUARY 07 - The Tokyo Stock Exchange opens the session higher, despite the correction in the US stock market and with the devaluation of the yen driving purchases in the export sector.
At the beginning, the Nikkei marks a positive variation of 0.30% at 27,776.32, adding 82 points.
On the foreign exchange front, the Japanese currency lost ground against the dollar to a one-month low at 132.60 and 142.20 against the euro, after the anticipations of the Japanese media on the forthcoming appointment of the new governor of the Central Bank of Japan (Boj), with all probability in line with the bank's current approach to maintaining an ultra-expansionary monetary policy.
