(MENAFN) Tokyo equities closed higher Tuesday, lifted by bargain hunting in heavyweight technology shares following recent losses, though broader gains remained constrained by persistent investor anxiety over the trajectory of U.S. trade tariffs.

The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average climbed 495.39 points, or 0.87 percent, from Friday’s close to finish at 57,321.09, while the wider Topix index edged up 7.50 points, or 0.20 percent, to settle at 3,815.98 — a more modest advance reflecting continued caution across the market.

On the top-tier Prime Market, nonferrous metal, glass and ceramics product, and precision instrument issues emerged as the session’s standout performers, posting the strongest sectoral gains of the day and underpinning the market’s overall upward momentum.
