TOKYO, Aug. 25 (Xinhua) -- Tokyo stocks ended higher Tuesday on dip-buying of technology shares.
The benchmark Nikkei stock index, the 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average, ended up 328.34 points, or 0.50 percent, from Monday at 65,856.43.
The broader Topix index, meanwhile, finished 20.38 points, or 0.50 percent, higher at 4,093.67.
Stocks fell at the outset, particularly artificial intelligence- and semiconductor-related shares, as a wait-and-see mood grew ahead of chip giant Nvidia Corp.'s earnings release later in the week. But buybacks of technology shares soon took the upper hand, supporting the benchmark index, analysts said. ■
