India, Feb. 2 -- The Japanese stock market is sharply higher on Monday, snapping the three-session winning streak, following the broadly negative cues from Wall Street on Friday, with the Nikkei 225 falling more than 2 percent to be just above the 38,700 level, with weakness across most sectors led by index heavyweights, automakers and technology stocks.

The benchmark Nikkei 225 Index is 842.86 points or 2.13 percent at 38,729.63, after hitting a low of 38,454.38 earlier. Japanese shares ended slightly higher on Friday.
