TOKYO - Tokyo stocks surged Monday, the first trading day of 2026, with the key Nikkei index ending up nearly 3 percent at a two-month high, driven by heavyweight technology issues and exporters bolstered by a weaker yen.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average soared 1,493.32 points, or 2.97 percent, from last Tuesday to 51,832.80. The broader Topix index finished 68.55 points, or 2.01 percent, higher at 3,477.52, marking a record high close.
