Japanese stocks rebounded Thursday from a market rout triggered by the US-Israeli attack on Iran, as strong US economic data boosted sentiment.
The blue-chip Nikkei 225 Stock Average and the broader Topix index both climbed 1.9% to 55,278.06 and 3,702.67 respectively. The banking and electric appliance sectors were the largest contributors to the gains.
