Tokyo stocks rose Tuesday morning with initial buying spurred by gains on Wall Street overnight, as U.S. diplomatic efforts in the Israel-Hamas war eased concern over global economic uncertainty.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average rose 285.28 points, or 0.90 percent, from Monday to 31,944.31. The broader Topix index was up 11.82 points, or 0.52 percent, at 2,285.36.
On the top-tier Prime Market, gainers were led by service, precision instrument, and information and communication issues.
