TOKYO: Japan's Nikkei stock index rebounded 0.40 percent by the lunch break on Monday after briefly falling to the lowest level since 1982 before the economic bubble era. The Nikkei was up 30.42 points at 7,679.50 after the dollar clawed back some ground against the yen, easing worries about weak exporter earnings. The index had fallen to as low as 7,486.44 in early deals, a level last seen in November 1982.
