Following the purchase of tech stocks in the US market last weekend and favorable movements from major companies' earnings reports, the Nikkei average started with a buying lead, shortly rising to 36,075.26 yen after the trading began, recovering to the 36,000 yen level for the first time in about four weeks since April 1.
