Japan’s Yen Weakens as Global Economy Recovers

The MSCI Asia Pacific Index of regional shares rose 0.3 percent, while the MSCI World Index advanced for the fourth day. The growth of the US and China’s manufacturing and the interest hike in Australia also supported the outlook for the recovery of the world economy.
