Japanese stocks rose, putting the Topix on track for its longest winning streak in 16 years, after the US and China agreed to de-escalate tariffs, boosting risk-on sentiment and sending the yen lower.
The benchmark gauge rose as much as 1.9% in early Tokyo trade, heading for a 13th straight day of gains, the most since August 2009. The blue-chip Nikkei 225 Stock Average was up as much as 2.3%.
