monday: On Monday, the key market gauge gained 19.63 points, according to The Japan Times. The Topix, which covers all first-section issues, ended 5.84 points, or 0.40 percent, higher at 1,471.53 after rising 6.62 points Monday. The Nikkei 225 average climbed 63.33 points, or 0.35 percent, to close at 18,418.59. Buying took the upper hand from the outset, after New York stocks staged a sharp rebound Monday. After the Nikkei rose more than 190 points in the early morning, the market's topside grew heavy in thin trading. The market was also lifted by the yen's fall against the dollar in the wake of U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's comments in a newspaper interview supporting the U.S. currency's long-term strength, brokers said.
