Tokyo stocks opened higher Thursday, helped by a cheap yen, after a mixed close on Wall Street, where a rally fuelled by upbeat US economic data ran out of steam.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index was up 0.47 percent, or 156.25 points, at 33,350.24 in early trade, while the broader Topix index added 0.36 percent, or 8.26 points, to 2,306.86.
