Tech-stock rallies send Nikkei higher

Japanese investors began Friday's session in a buying mood, although the progress of the morning's key stocks - Japan Air Lines and Seiyu - proved vague. Higher trends in blue-chip electronics groups reflected the end of a high-tech selling wave that began in the US earlier in the week.

Shortly after the open, the Nikkei 225 index was up 86.58 at 11,655.40, and the Topix index gained 9.21 to 1,093.09.

Japan's government, which on Thursday offered a mildly more optimistic economic outlook for the first time in nine months, helped fuel the buying mood, as did a higher close in that day's session.

Japan Air Lines suffered some selling after the country's Fair Trade Commission, a top regulatory agency, said it could deliver a ruling on Friday concerning the airliner's plans for a merger.
