TOKYO, March 22 (Xinhua) -- Tokyo stocks ended flat Friday in slightly choppy trade, after a positive lead on Wall Street's overnight gains were offset by the yen's appreciation against the U.S. dollar.

The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average edged 18.42 points, or 0.09 percent higher, from Wednesday to close the day at 21,627.34.

The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, meanwhile, added 2.72 points, or 0.17 percent, to finish at 1,617.11.

Technology, oil and coal product, mining and marine transportation issues comprised notable advancers, while decliners were led by pharmaceutical, farm and fishery, and insurance-linked issues.

Financial markets here were closed on Thursday for a national holiday. Enditem
