TOKYO (AP) - Japanese stocks rose moderately Monday morning as traders bought shares of big electronic and auto exporters on optimism that the stronger dollar will inflate their overseas sales.
The Nikkei 225 Index gained 32.80 points, or 0.28 percent, to end Monday's morning session at 11,662.93 points. On Friday, the index gained 0.40 percent to 11,630.13 points, its highest close since the April 13.
Stocks rose in most sectors, especially auto, technology and other exporter issues on the dollar's recent gains. A stronger dollar boosts exporters' overseas profits when converted back to yen.
