wall street: It gained 33.71 points Monday, according to The Japan Times. After opening slightly lower, stocks soon turned buoyant, helped by a continued rise on Wall Street. The Nikkei 225 average rose 24.30 points, or 0.11 percent, to end at 21,754.27 after surging 454.05 points Monday. ; The Topix, which covers all first-section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, finished 4.99 points, or 0.31 percent, higher at 1,589.84. The Nikkei and Topix both dipped into negative territory again on profit-taking. The market moved narrowly for the rest of the day due to a dearth of strong incentives, they said. But they recouped losses in midmorning trading thanks to buying by investors who took heart from Shanghai shares resisting falling substantially despite turmoil in Hong Kong, brokers said.
