Following the Bank of Japan (BOJ)'s decision to modify its ultra-loose monetary policy last week, 10-year Japanese government bond yields surged to a nine-year high of 0.605 percent.
The BOJ announced that it would allow the long-term yield to exceed its previous 0.5 percent cap and potentially reach 1.0 percent.
Meanwhile, export-oriented issues gained due to a weaker yen.
On the prime market, gainers were led by precision instrument, transportation equipment, and iron and steel shares.
