STOCK EXCHANGE LETS FOREIGNERS PLAY
Just for the moment the scrummaging and jostling eased. A patter of applause ran around the exchange floor. A broker had pushed through another trade at an enviable price. The hurly burly started again. A minute later there was another burst of louder and more general clapping as a stock price hit a high. Then the blue-suited mauling started again. Brokers in their tiny boxes looked even more like bookmakers as they gesticulated to their colleagues on the exchange floor.
It’s little wonder that the Tokyo Stock Exchange is open only four hours a day.
