Tokyo's main index closes higher on the day

  • Session high 21,737.09
  • Session low 21,517.77

A decent session for the Nikkei as US equity futures are having a positive day so far as well. It's been a fairly good session for Asian stocks considering the declines suffered by the US on Friday, and that owes a lot to do with the hope that Xi Jinping's speech tomorrow will offer some form of optimism on the trade front.
