over Greece bailout. Insurers led gains on the Topix index.

on Monday for its biggest advance this year. The Nikkei 225 Stock
Average added 1.3 percent to 20,347.96. The yen slid 0.1 percent to
123.59 per dollar after falling 0.5 percent yesterday. Greek Prime
Minister Alexis Tsipras surrendered to European demands for immediate
action to qualify for up to 86 billion euros ($95 billion) of aid he
needs to keep his country in the euro area.
Futures on the

1.1 percent on Monday to cap its steepest three-day rally this year.
The Bank of Japan
