Tokyo shares sought to recover at the start of trading on Thursday, buoyed by accelerating US stock indices fueled by encouraging quarterly earnings reports, despite the Trump administration’s failure to secure a trade deal with India. The benchmark Nikkei 225 index gained 0.50% at the opening bell, rising nearly 200 points to 40,490.66. On the currency markets, the yen showed little movement against the dollar, holding around 147 yen per dollar, while strengthening against the euro to 170.20 yen per euro.
