Topix rose 1.3% as Nikkei fell 0.5%.

The split was the story in Tokyo: Topix rose 1.3%, while Nikkei fell 0.5%. Selling in AI and semiconductor shares weighed on the Nikkei, according to the report. But its decline didn't mean most of its stocks were down. Of the index's 225 constituents, 168 rose, 56 fell and one was unchanged. Meanwhile, the broader Topix got support from lower oil prices, the report said. The benchmarks finished in opposite directions, with most Nikkei stocks pointing up even as the index itself slipped.
