Tokyo stocks end higher on bargain-hunting

TOKYO, June 29 (Xinhua) -- Tokyo stocks ended higher Monday, as some investors sought bargains, while investors continued adjusting their positions by selling technology issues.

The benchmark Nikkei stock index, the 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average, ended up 107.23 points, or 0.15 percent, from Friday at 69,468.11.

The broader Topix index, meanwhile, finished 18.64 points, or 0.47 percent, higher at 3,982.00.

On the stock market, the Nikkei was initially dragged down by some semiconductor-related shares tracking U.S. peers late last week, but bargain-hunting provided some support as the benchmark index dropped to a two-week low.

Stocks turned positive as buying in the main decliners, such as Advantest and Kioxia, accelerated ahead of the close, analysts said. Enditem
