TOKYO -- Revenue growth is emerging as draw for equity investors here, and it may fuel a rally that propels the Nikkei Stock Average back above 20,000.
The Japanese benchmark rose for a second straight session Monday, gaining 0.45% to close at 19,678. Given concerns over North Korea and suspicions of Russian links to U.S. President Donald Trump, many observers skeptically attribute the increase mainly to a "restocking" of shares that were dumped earlier.
