Japan’s Nikkei share average surged more than 2% on Monday, led by chip-related stocks that tracked gains among U.S. semiconductor companies in the previous session, while easing market volatility encouraged investors to take on more risk, Reuters reported.
The Nikkei was up 2.28% at 66,500.29 as of 0150 GMT, while the broader Topix gained 0.81% to 4,136.31.
