Japan Nikkei gains ground on bargain hunting

The Japan share market finished volatile session higher on Monday, 26 March 2018, as investors chased for bottom fishing after massive sell-offs late last week. However, market gain was limited as concerns over a possible global trade war stayed in play. The Nikkei 225 closed 148.24 points, or 0.72%, higher at 20,766.10, after hitting an early low of 20,347.49, the weakest since late September 2017. The Topix, which covers all first-section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, ended 6.38 points, or 0.38%, higher at 1,671.32.
