The share average of Japan’s Nikkei edged up for a 12th straight day on Monday, removing early losses rooted in weak economic data that had pulled down U.S. stocks. Trading was choppy throughout the day. The Nikkei ended slightly higher, rising 0.03%, or 6.72 points to 20,569.87, hitting another 15-year high. The winning streak is the longest since February 1988.
