Japan's Nikkei share average
was set to extend gains for the fifth straight session on
Monday, although the failure over the weekend of Greece and its
private creditors to reach a deal on avoiding a messy default
limited its advance.
Scandal-hit Olympus Corp surged 7.6 percent and was
the heaviest traded stock by turnover on the main board after
the Tokyo bourse kept the company listed.
The Tokyo Stock Exchange, however, on Friday placed the
camera and endoscope maker on its "security on alert" list for
firms needing to urgently improve their internal management. (Reuters)
