Financeroll.com -- Japan's Nikkei share average touched a three-month high above 9,000 on Friday after U.S. shares rallied sharply on better than expected preliminary results from Wells Fargo, while a softer yen boosted exporters such as Sony Corp.
The benchmark Nikkei was up 0.5 percent or 47.45 points at 8,963.51 by midday, after rising as much as 1.7 percent to above the psychologically important 9,000 for the first time since Jan. 8.(RTR)
