TOKYO, June 9 (Xinhua) -- Tokyo stocks ended higher Monday, lifted by the buying of technology shares following gains among their U.S. counterparts.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei stock index, the 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average, ended up 346.96 points, or 0.92 percent, from Friday at 38,088.57.
The broader Topix index, meanwhile, finished 16.08 points, or 0.58 percent, higher at 2,785.41.
On the stock market, the Nikkei index closed above the 38,000 threshold for the first time since late May, as heavyweight semiconductor-related shares tracked gains by their U.S. counterparts on Wall Street late last week. ■
