Almost unchanged
The Nikkei Stock Average barely extended its gains for the third successive day.
In the morning, it started strong aided by higher U.S. shares from the previous week, but immediately after there was substantial selling pressure in stock index futures, turning it lower.
It briefly fell to 29,530 yen (down 152 yen from the previous Friday close), then recovered into positive territory,
and, supported by higher Asian stock prices, expanded its gains, with a late session rise to 29,808 yen (up about 124 yen from the previous close).
Thereafter it slipped back into negative territory again, and moved around near the previous Friday's close toward the close.
The Mothers Index rose again.
