Japan's Nikkei rises as tech shares gain
TOKYO, Aug 30 (Reuters) -Japan's Nikkei share average advanced on Friday after the Dow notched a record closing high overnight, with technology stocks leading the gains.
The Nikkei .N225 rose 0.58% to 38,585.43 by the midday break, but was flat for the week. The broader Topix .TOPX climbed 0.56% to 2,708.08 and was up 0.3% for the week.
"The Dow's strong finish lifted domestic equities. Chip-related stocks rose despite a decline of the Nasdaq, which means Nvidia is no longer a market-moving cue," said Naoki Fujiwara, senior general manager at Shinkin Asset Management.
The Dow posted a record-high close on Thursday in mixed trading following robust U.S. economic data, while artificial intelligence chipmaker Nvidia NVDA.O dropped after its largely in-line forecast failed to impress investors. The Nasdaq slipped 0.23%.
Nvidia's performance has been key for the Nikkei as most of its heavyweights are technology stocks.
Chip-testing equipment maker Advantest 6857.T jumped 2.67% to give the biggest boost to the Nikkei. Chip-making equipment maker Tokyo Electron 8035.T rose 0.57%. Technology start-up investor SoftBank Group 9984.T gained 2.5%.
Medical equipment maker Terumo 4543.T> fell 2.9% to weigh on the Nikkei the most, after news that its shareholders plan to sell 73.2 billion yen ($505.56 million) worth of shares to overseas investors.
Home interior goods retailer Nitori Holdings 9843.T, which relies on imports for most materials, fell 3% to become the biggest percentage loser on the Nikkei after the yen weakened on Thursday.
Nitori shares have risen 25% so far this month, buoyed by a stronger yen. The Nikkei has declined 1.89% during the same period.
Of the 225 Nikkei components, 138 stocks rose and 85 fell, with two trading flat.
