The stock market in Japan ended mixed on Monday, with the benchmark
Nikkei 225 index rising to a 8-week high and ending in positive
territory while the broader Topix Index ended in negative territory
with minor losses on concerns about the strength of the domestic
economy. Positive closing on Wall Street in the previous session
led by technology stocks and higher commodity prices, especially
copper prices, as well as weakening of the local currency against
the greenback lifted market sentiment.
