what happened
Japanese stocks rebounded on Monday from Friday's sell-off, with the Nikkei Stock Average up 1.7% at 58,409.30. Market Talk reports that solid U.S. jobs data helped lift the market. Machinery and financial names led the gains: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries rose 6.3% and Mizuho Financial Group climbed 5.2%.
The dollar traded at 158.21 yen, against 157.92 yen at Friday's Tokyo close. Investors are watching corporate earnings and developments in the Middle East, while Mitsui O.S.K. Lines is due to report its results later in the day.
why it matters
The bounce follows a 6.0% drop on Friday, so traders are weighing whether the selloff has run its course. The yen's direction and earnings from Japanese exporters are likely to set the index's next move.
