TOKYO: Tokyo stocks closed higher on Thursday, tracking gains on Wall Street on hopes that the pace of the US Federal Reserve''s rate hikes would be slower than expected. The benchmark Nikkei 225 index closed up 0.70 percent or 184.24 points at 26,577.27 while the broader Topix index rose 1.18 percent or 21.86 points to 1,881.80. The dollar fetched 115.62 yen in Asia, against 115.51 yen on Wednesday in New York. US central bank chief Jerome Powell repeated the need for increasing interest rates to ease inflation, as the US battles consumer prices that are climbing at the fastest pace in four decades, as well as soaring oil. But at the same time, Powell said he favours raising the benchmark borrowing rate by a patient quarter-point at the central bank''s meeting this month, although not entirely ruling out the possibility of more aggressive moves. "Following rallies in US shares, the Nikkei 225 was led by purchases," strategist Mutsumi Kanamori of Daiwa Securities said in a commentary. However, investors are increasingly cautious "ahead of ceasefire talks between Ukraine and Russia" expected later in the day, she added.

Panasonic aims to start mass production of a higher-capacity battery for Tesla by March 2024. The company is building a production facility for the battery at its Wakayama Factory, where it will create two more production lines and make structural improvements. Development is continuing on the 4,680 lithium-ion battery. It''s expected to be around twice the size of current batteries and have a fivefold increase in energy capacity. While fewer of them would be required for each car (which will reduce costs and potentially lower EV prices), the batteries could boost the range of an EV by over 15 percent. Panasonic''s announcement lines up with previous reports suggesting it could start making the battery next year. The company was said to be investing approximately 80 billion yen (around $694 million) into production equipment. It started working on the battery following a request from Tesla, though it may sell the 4,680 to other automakers.
