Tokyo stocks ended slightly higher after choppy trading Thursday, with the Nikkei index snapping a seven-day losing streak, on hopes that the Japanese government will intervene in the currency market to halt the yen's resilience.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average ended up 34.48 points, or 0.22%, from Wednesday at 15,749.84. The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange finished 4.89 points, or 0.39%, higher at 1,272.64, according to Japan's News Agency (Kyodo).
Gainers were led by pharmaceutical, oil and coal products, as well as mining issues.
