Tokyo stocks rose slightly Wednesday morning as the yen weakened against the U.S. dollar, while sharp gains by the blue-chip SoftBank Group also supported sentiment.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average advanced 107.74 points, or 0.39 percent, from Tuesday to 27,625.99. The broader Topix index was up 9.72 points, or 0.49 percent, at 1,976.39.
On the top-tier Prime Market, gainers were led by mining, rubber product, and paper and pulp product issues.
