TOKYO, Jan. 21 (Xinhua) -- Tokyo stocks continued to rise on Tuesday, boosted by strong semiconductor stocks including Tokyo Electron and Advantest.
The benchmark Nikkei stock index, the 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average, extended its gains, rising 125.48 points, or 0.32 percent to close at 39,027.98.
The Nikkei climbed over 300 points during the morning session following reports that U.S. President Donald Trump would refrain from imposing new tariffs. Gains were also supported by overnight advances in European equities.

The TOPIX index also edged up, gaining 2.23 points, or 0.08 percent to close at 2,713.50.
