TOKYO: Tokyo stocks opened 1.32 per cent higher on Tuesday after Greece reached a long-awaited newbailout deal, while the euro slipped further against the dollar.
The Nikkei 225 index at the Tokyo Stock Exchange rose 265.56 points, to 20,355.33 in the first few minutes of trade.
The rally came after eurozone leaders struck a deal Monday on a bailout to prevent Greece crashing out of the eurozone while forcing Athens to push through tough reforms within days.
On forex markets, the euro stood at US$1.0986 compared with US$1.1004 in New York late Monday.
