topix index: On Friday, the key market gauge lost 229.32 points, finishing below 17,000 for the first time since Oct. 19, according to The Japan Times. The Topix index of all first-section issues added 15.76 points, or 1.17 percent, to close at 1,362.80 after shedding 21.40 points the previous trading day. The 225-issue Nikkei average jumped 271.85 points, or 1.61 percent, to end at 17,177.21 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Buying took the upper hand from the outset of Monday trading as investors took heart from news reports Sunday that the FBI has concluded Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton should not face criminal charges over her private email scandal, brokers said. With the FBI decision, concerns diminished over the Trump risk, or the risk of financial markets entering turmoil if Republican contender Donald Trump wins the U.S. presidential election, according to brokers. The dollar rebound above ¥104 prompted buybacks of a wide range of issues.
