Nikkei rises 0.9% on bargain buying, stronger dollar

Japanese share market traded higher on Monday, 19 January 2015, as yen softness against the greenback and positive lead from the Wall Street helped shares rebound from Friday's selloff. The market briefly pared gains as Chinese stocks tumbled after regulators took measures to rein in margin trading at three of the nation's biggest securities firms. The Nikkei Stock Average ended up 0.9% at 17014.29, while the broader Topix added 0.6% to 1372.41.
