Tokyo stocks rebounded over 2 percent Monday morning as investors bought back export-oriented and financial issues amid eased concerns over yen’s appreciation and debt problems in Dubai, which triggered heavy selling last week.

The benchmark Nikkei-225 index soared 217.41 points, or 2.39 percent, from Friday to 9,298.93. The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange was up 21.12 points, or 2.60 percent, to 832. 13.
