The Japanese stock market ended higher on Friday, with banking and electronics stocks leading the way. The Nikkei index ended the day 1.2% higher at 27,333.79, while the broader Topix ended up 1.15% at 1,959.42. The Nikkei ended the week lower, amid a brewing banking crisis that sent bond yields plunging, while market participants sharply lowered expectations of future interest rate hikes in Western economies.
