Tokyo stocks were higher Monday morning after the ruling coalition’s major win in Sunday’s parliamentary election while the yen slid to a new 24-year low against the U.S. dollar after solid job data late last week. The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average rose 269.81 points, or 1.02 percent, from Friday to 26,787.00. The broader Topix index was up 20.47 points, or 1.08 percent, at 1,907.90. On the top-tier Prime Market, gainers were led by precision instrument and mining, and insurance issues.
