Tokyo stocks rose Tuesday morning, tracking overnight gains on Wall Street, with the yen’s depreciation against the U.S. dollar supporting exporter issues.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average rose 246.31 points, or 0.74 percent, from Monday to 33,418.53. The broader Topix index was up 14.49 points, or 0.62 percent, at 2,337.05.
On the top-tier Prime Market, gainers were led by electric power and gas, marine transportation, and iron and steel issues.
