Stock market, big companies push Tokyo: Nikkei +1,28%

As China's economy continues to struggle, with the PMI manufacturing index which reaches its lowest level in 4 months, the Japanese economy is experiencing a new acceleration. The Tokyo Stock Exchange, in fact, closed a positive day gaining 1,28% to 13.852 points, following up on last week's progress.

Above all, two factors dragged the Nikkei index upwards: the weakness of the yen and the results of theTANKAN inquiry for large manufacturing companies which, for the first time since September 2011, shows a higher percentage of optimists than pessimists.
