Tokyo stocks rose on Monday, with the Nikkei 225 index climbing 1.8% to 39,332.74, driven by gains in financial and export sectors amid a weak yen. This follows a strong U.S. jobs report showing 254,000 jobs added in September, boosting economic optimism. Other Asian markets also saw increases, while European shares dipped due to rising oil prices linked to Middle Eastern tensions. The Fed's interest rate policies remain a key focus for traders.
