Tokyo stocks bounce back in morning on buybacks, U.S. shares' advance
Tokyo stocks bounced back Wednesday morning as investors bought back issues deemed oversold following the Dow's overnight rise to a sixth-and-a-month high, but gains were capped by investors eyeing U.S.-China trade related talks this week and the results of the U.S. Federal Reserve's annual symposium later this week.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average added 101.41 points, or 0.46 percent, from Tuesday to 22,321.14.
The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, meanwhile, gained 11.24 points, or 0.67 percent, to 1,696.66.
Steel and iron, transportation equipment and glass and ceramics product-linked issues comprised those that gained the most by the morning break.
