Tokyo stocks were mixed Wednesday morning as technology issues came under pressure following an overnight decline in their U.S. peers, while a weak yen against the U.S. dollar continued to support exporters. The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average fell 128.93 points, or 0.46 percent, from Tuesday to 27,756.94. The broader Topix index was up 2.30 points, or 0.12 percent, at 1,952.52. On the top-tier Prime Market, decliners were led by mining, electric appliance, and precision instrument issues.
