TOKYO, April 1 (Xinhua) -- Tokyo stocks ended slightly higher Tuesday, as investors hunted for bargains a day after the benchmark Nikkei index tumbled to a seven-month low, while caution over U.S. reciprocal tariffs lingered.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei stock index, the 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average, ended up 6.92 points, or 0.02 percent, from Monday at 35,624.48.
The broader Topix index, meanwhile, finished 3.00 points, or 0.11 percent, higher at 2,661.73.
Stocks rose in the morning as overnight gains of the U.S. Dow Jones index sparked moderate buying after the benchmark Nikkei shed 4 percent Monday. But gains were capped amid a cautious mood before the U.S. government was expected to announce details of reciprocal tariffs on Wednesday, analysts said. ■
