TOKYO, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- Japan's benchmark Nikkei stock index closed higher on Tuesday amid gains in tech shares, while investors remained cautious ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve policy meeting.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average ended up 38.92 points, or 0.11 percent, from Monday to close the day at 36,065.86.
The broader Topix index, meanwhile, finished 2.55 points, or 0.10 percent, lower at 2,526.93.
Market watchers here pointed out that tracking overnight gains in the Wall Street market, tech shares in Tokyo saw gains, which were trimmed however, as investors took a wait-and-see attitude before the U.S. Federal Reserve policy meeting and the earnings announcements of major Japanese companies later this week.
On the top-tier Prime Market, gainers were led by marine transportation, miscellaneous product and insurance shares.
Issues that fell outpaced those that rose by 1,047 to 563, while 47 remained unchanged. Enditem
