TOKYO (Kyodo) -- Tokyo stocks bounced back Tuesday as investors scooped up recently battered shares, but gains were limited as caution dominated the market ahead of U.S. chip giant Nvidia Corp.'s earnings report.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average ended up 193.58 points, or 0.51 percent, from Monday at 38,414.43. The broader Topix index finished 18.27 points, or 0.68 percent, higher at 2,710.03.
On the top-tier Prime Market, gainers were led by nonferrous metal, bank and insurance shares.
The U.S. dollar briefly dipped to the upper 153 yen range in Tokyo as the currency was sold following an overnight fall in long-term U.S. Treasury yields.
At 5 p.m., the U.S. dollar fetched 154.53-54 yen compared with 154.65-75 yen in New York and 154.56-58 yen in Tokyo at 5 p.m. Monday.
The euro was quoted at $1.0577-0578 and 163.45-49 yen against $1.0593-0603 and 163.78-88 yen in New York, and $1.0547-0548 and 163.02-06 yen in Tokyo late Monday afternoon.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Japanese government bond edged down 0.005 percentage point from Monday's close to 1.065 percent, as the debt was bought tracking the fall in long-term U.S. Treasury yields.
Stocks were in positive territory throughout the day, supported by gains on the U.S. tech-heavy Nasdaq index overnight and rising U.S. stock futures in the afternoon.
Bargain-hunting also lifted the market after recent declines over concerns about U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's proposed policies, such as higher tariffs, but trading remained muted amid a lack of fresh trading cues, brokers said.
Investors were awaiting Nvidia's earnings report Wednesday, with strong interest on whether the firm will release its Blackwell artificial intelligence chips early next year as scheduled after facing delays, according to Shingo Ide, chief equity strategist at the NLI Research Institute.
"The market could see a significant swing up or down depending on Nvidia, so it appears investors were in a wait-and-see mode," said Ide.
