TOKYO, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) -- Tokyo shares ended mixed Wednesday as selling took upper hands in the afternoon session due to tumbling crude oil prices, but the downward trend was held by bargain hunting.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average inched up 2.14 points, or 0. 01 percent, from Tuesday at 16,885.33.
The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange was down 1.34 points, or 0.10 percent, at 1, 359.80.
Gainers were led by textile and automaker issues, while banks and mining issues were lost ground.
The turnover was about 2,143.4 billion yen (about 18.01 billion U.S. dollars).
