Stock market indexes in Tokyo advanced, reflecting gains in New York in Friday's trading.
The Nikkei 225 Stock Average jumped as much as 1.4%, and the broader Topix advanced as much as 0.6% amid optimism about the easing of trade tensions and receding geopolitical risks.
Despite the investor enthusiasm, trade tensions between Japan and the U.S. remain elevated because of the unresolved 25% tariffs on Japanese vehicles and parts.
Japan's industrial output in May increased 0.5% from the previous month, according to a report released by the Ministry of Economy, Trade & Industry.
The volatile index advanced for the third month this year amid a rebound of 5.6% compared to a decline of 8.7% in the production of machinery and motor vehicles and by 2.5% compared to a decrease of 0.9% from a year ago, respectively.
On an annual basis, industrial production declined 1.8% from a year ago.
