LOS ANGELES: Japanese stocks climbed early Tuesday, with the Nikkei Average NIK, -0.48% up 0.7% about half an hour into trading, though off its earlier highs, while the Topix rose 0.9%. The market drew support from Wall Street’s overnight advance, as well as from a weaker yen, with the dollar USDJPY, +0.08% changing hands for ¥120.05, up from ¥119.77 a day earlier. Between the yen’s loss and a 1.1% advance for the Nasdaq, Tokyo-listed techs were broadly higher, with Casio Computer Co. 6952, +2.46% CSIOY, +0.24% up 3.3%, Panasonic Corp. 6752, +0.48% PCRFF, +0.76% up 1.4%, and Sony Corp. 6758, -0.42% SNE, +1.16% up 1.5% after a 1.2% improvement for its U.S.-listed shares. Smaller name Bandai Namco Holdings Inc. 7832, +1.96% rallied 3% after saying it would license rights to some of its world-famous classic games such as Pac-Man and Galaxian. Among the industrials, Fujifilm Holdings Corp. 4901, +1.92% FUJIF, +1.39% rose 3.2% on the back of its deal to buy U.S. company Cellular Dynamics International Inc. ICEL, +106.80% for about $307 million in cash. On the downside, Uniqlo operator Fast Retailing Co. 9983, -1.07% FRCOF, +0.03% fell 0.6%, and ANA Holdings Inc. 9202, -1.74% ALNPF, +1.36% lost 0.5%, profiting naught from its incoming president telling the Nikkei that the airline plans to focus “on world destinations where no Japanese airlines currently go,” including South America and Africa.
