TOKYO, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) -- Tokyo stocks closed higher Tuesday as the yen's retreat against the U.S. dollar gave exporters a lift and help buoy the broader market despite Wall Street's weak overnight lead.

The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average added 212.53 points, or 0.99 percent, from Monday to close the day at 21,587.78.

The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, meanwhile, rose 13.75 points, or 0.87 percent, to finish at 1,586.50.

Precision instrument, metal product and machinery-linked issues comprised those that gained the most by the close of play. Enditem
