Japanese stocks rose, with the Topix index swinging between gains and losses at least 15 times, after a U.S. payrolls report gave little comfort to investors seeking direction on when the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates and as trading in China resumed after a holiday.
Toshiba Corp. gained 1.8 percent after reporting earnings following a delay after facing an accounting scandal. Builder Haseko Corp. added 1.6 percent and social media site operator DeNA Co. jumped 8.7 percent after the index compiler Nikkei Inc. said it would add the companies to the Nikkei 225 Stock Average. SoftBank Group Corp. and Japan Tobacco Inc. were the biggest drags on the Topix index.
