The Nikkei 225 rebounded in the morning session as buying resumed after concerns over the sharp appreciation of the yen at the start of the week eased. Concerns over the situation in the Middle East, however, continue to smolder.
In the morning session on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the Nikkei 225 rose ¥225.90 from the previous day to ¥65,495.23, rebounding with a 0.35% gain. The market saw buying resume as concerns over the yen's appreciation eased.
