TOKYO: Tokyo stocks rose Monday morning with a weaker yen giving a boost to automakers and other exporters as investor concerns over last week’s US missile strike in Syria waned.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index gained 0.65 percent, or 122.09 points, to 18,786.72 by the break, while the broader Topix index of all first-section issues rose 0.55 percent, or 8.23 points, to 1,498.00.
