TOKYO, Sept 10 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei stock average climbed 2 percent on Thursday, its biggest one-day gain in two weeks, as healthy risk appetite lifted stocks around Asia and helped banking shares rebound after a recent slide.
High-tech glass maker Hoya Corp climbed after the Nikkei business daily said the company appeared to be targeting an operating profit of 50 billion to 55 billion yen, close to its operating profit of 59 billion yen a year earlier.
The benchmark Nikkei rose 201.53 points to 10,513.67, breaking above resistance at 10,400 in what analysts said could set the stage for a more extended rebound. The broader Topix rose 2 percent to 958.49. (Reporting by Elaine Lies)
