"The Nikkei index rallied for the seven straight session... the sense of relief after certain political events and hope for the development of a new coronavirus vaccine continued," Okasan Online Securities said in a commentary. US pharmaceutical giant Pfizer said on Monday that its Covid vaccine candidate had shown 90 percent effectiveness in tests involving more than 40,000 people.
