TOKYO, June 1 (Xinhua) -- Tokyo stocks ended mixed Monday as buying of some heavyweight technology shares offset profit-taking on the broader market.
The benchmark Nikkei stock index, the 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average, ended up 604.83 points, or 0.91 percent, from Friday at 66,934.33, after hitting a record intraday high of 67,231.28.
The broader Topix index, meanwhile, finished 16.47 points, or 0.42 percent, lower at 3,940.70.
On the stock market, the benchmark Nikkei set a fresh intraday record, driven by strong demand for artificial intelligence- and semiconductor-related shares, while the broader market was pressured by selling to lock in recent gains amid concerns about overheating, analysts said. ■
