TOKYO, June 10 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei average hit its highest point in eight months on Wednesday, boosted by resource shares such as trading firm Mitsubishi Corp after oil prices marked a seven-month high above $70 a barrel amid hopes for a recovery in the global economy.
The benchmark Nikkei advanced 1.4 percent to 9,925.23, after briefly touching its highest level since October 8.
The broader Topix gained 1.6 percent to 933.20. (Reporting by Aiko Hayashi)
