Nikkei Ends Up As Stocks Tied To Domestic Demand Rise

Tokyo stocks rebounded on Thursday, with the Nikkei Stock Average falling 40.59 points, or 0.4%, to end the day at 10,127.08.

Investors aggressively bought issues tied to domestic demand and natural resources on the back of rising crude oil prices.

Meanwhile, fears that the Chinese economy will slow down prompted investors to sell China-dependent stocks, including Fanuc Corp. (6954) and Komatsu Ltd. (6301).

The trading value on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange reached about 1.29 trillion yen ($ 15.46968 billion) on a preliminary basis. The data have been compiled by Nikkei News.
