Nikkei soars 2% on weaker yen

The Japanese share market closed higher on Monday, 09 November 2015, with export related stocks leading rally on a weaker yen after strong U.S. employment data brought the prospect of a rise in U.S. interest rates closer. The Nikkei Stock Average advanced 377.14 points, or 2%, to end at 19642.74 points. The broader Topix index has gained 1.75%, or 27.38 points, to 1590.97 at the close, its highest level since Aug. 20.
