Tokyo stocks stronger by midday, NEC leads climb By Nathan Layne biz.yahoo.com TOKYO, April 22 (Reuters) - Tokyo stocks put on healthy gains by midday on Monday, with NEC Corp (6701.T) and other core high-tech shares snapped up on hopes their profits will stage a big recovery this business year. The benchmark Nikkei average (.N225) rose 1.11 percent or 127.79 points to 11,639.80, while the broader TOPIX index (^TOPX - news) moved 0.61 percent higher to 1,098.98. A bomb scare before the opening at the Tokyo Stock Exchange, which forced some 800 people in the building to evacuate, had little impact on the bourse's electronic trading. The security measures were lifted about 30 minutes after the market opened. Bellwether tech issues reporting 2001/02 results and forecasts for the year to March 2003 towards the end of this week include NEC, Sony Corp (6758.T) and Toshiba Corp (6502.T).
