Tokyo stocks gained Monday morning as a seemingly successful first summit between Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday eased earlier concerns that the U.S. may come down hard on Japan over trade, security and currency issues.

The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average added 104.45 points, or 0.54 percent, from Friday to 19,483.38.

The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, meanwhile, gained 9.51 points, or 0.61 percent, to 1,556.07.

Notable issues that advanced by the morning break comprised mining, iron and steel, and machinery-linked stocks.
