Tokyo--Tokyo stocks jumped 1.27 percent Monday morning, boosted by a solid US jobs report and China's decision to cut interest rates again, but Sharp and Toshiba plunged on concerns about their balance sheets.
The Nikkei 225 index at the Tokyo Stock Exchange rose 245.32 points to 19,624.51 by the break, while the broader Topix index of all first-section shares added 1.00 percent, or 15.81 points, to 1,603.57.
