TOKYO, Aug. 9 (Xinhua) -- Tokyo stocks closed higher Tuesday after a choppy day's trade, with a positive market mood prevailing after a rebound in prices for crude oil spurred buying and the yen relinquishing ground to the U.S. dollar underpinned the market.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average added 114.40 points, or 0.69 percent, from Monday to end the day at 16,764.97.
The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, meanwhile, gained 11.96 points, or 0.92 percent, to finish at 1,317.49.
Notable issues that advanced by the close of play comprised miscellaneous product, mining as well as fishery, agriculture and forestry-linked stocks.
The day's turnover was 2,225.4 billion yen (21.74 billion U.S. dollars).
