TOKYO: Japan’s Nikkei share average rose on Tuesday, rebounding from a sharp decline on Friday – its most recent trading session – led by stocks that reported robust outlooks.

The Nikkei rose 1.11% to 38,474.66 by the midday break, after opening 0.58% higher.

That followed a 2.63% drop on Friday in its biggest daily decline in a month.

Markets were closed on Monday for a public holiday.

The broader Topix was up 0.73% to 2,663.58.

Seiichi Suzuki, chief equity market analyst at Tokai Tokyo Intelligence Laboratory, said investors clearly had more appetite for the upside following the opening, which pushed the early rally further.

“But the momentum will not last long as investors are cautious until they confirm the results of the US presidential election.

The Nikkei’s volatility is still high,“ said Suzuki.

The Nikkei volatility index rose 20.55% to 31.39.
