Big news out of Manhattan, as Sony plans to sell it's landmark Manhattan Skyscraper. The skyscraper which is on Madison Avenue, is to be purchased by Shetrit Group, which is a private Real Estate Firm out of New York. This sale, along with continued weakness in the Japanese Currency, the yen, lifted the share price of Sony by 12%

Sony admitted that the motivation for the sale was to raise much-needed cash, expected to equal $770m, after debts on the building have been repaid.
