Nikkei ends at new five-year high, Sony surges

TOKYO, Jan 27 (Reuters) - The Nikkei share average rose 3.58 percent on Friday, posting its highest close in more than five years as Sony Corp.'s (6758.T: Quote, Profile, Research) surprisingly strong earnings a day earlier raised hopes for good earnings at other technology firms.

The Nikkei rose 569.66 points to 16,460.68, the highest close since September 2000. It also posted the biggest one-day percentage gain since October 2002.
