Japan's Nikkei ends 6% higher on market recovery hopes

Japan's Nikkei surged 6.03% to 33,012.58, its sharpest one-day rise since August 6.

The broader Topix also gained over 6%, closing at 2,432.02.

Gains were driven by bargain buying and rising U.S. stock futures in Asia trade.

Both indices remain down ~13% since U.S. tariffs raised export concerns.
