TOKYO, June 26 (Xinhua) -- Tokyo stocks finished marginally higher Monday as U.S. tech shares advancing at the end of last week set a positive tone, while the yen's retreat against the U.S. dollar underpinned the market.

The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average edged up 20.68 points, or 0.10 percent, from Friday to close the day at 20,153.35.

The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, meanwhile, crept 0.87 point, or 0.05 percent, higher to finish the day at 1,612.21.

Mining, food and nonferrous metal-linked issues comprised those that gained the most by the close of play, and advancing issues outnumbered declining ones by 1,104 to 775 on the First Section.

Trading volume on the main section on Monday came to 1,395.60 million shares, dropping from Friday's volume of 1,532.20 million shares.

Turnover on the first trading day of the week totaled 1,750.5 billion yen (15.72 billion U.S. dollars). Enditem
