points: The last time the Nikkei finished above 22,000 was April 26. ; On Friday, the key market gauge jumped 228.68 points, according to The Japan Times. The market was closed Monday for a national holiday. The Nikkei rose 13.03 points, or 0.06 percent, to end at 22,001.32, climbing for the 10th straight trading day and achieving the longest winning streak since a 16-session rise in October 2017.

The U.S. market's slump reflected concerns over a slowdown in the Chinese economy following the release of weaker than expected economic indicators and over drone attacks on Saudi Arabian crude oil facilities Saturday. After starting lower, pulled down by an overnight drop on Wall Street, both indexes rose to the positive side in midmorning trading thanks to bargain hunting.
