Tokyo stocks were higher Tuesday morning as technology shares tracked overnight gains among U.S. counterparts and export-related issues were bought on the weak yen.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average rose 255.70 points, or 0.80 percent, from Monday to 32,315.61. The broader Topix index was up 13.23 points, or 0.58 percent, at 2,294.12.
