The Nikkei 225 index is 0.34% higher to 37,193 and is holding just above the 100-day EMA, while the broader Topix is up 0.80% at 2,648. Toyota Motor and Bank stocks have fueled the Topix's gains. However, caution prevailed, particularly in chip-related stocks, following underwhelming orders at ASML Holdings and a cautious outlook from TSMC, which explains the underperformance by the Nikkei.
