Tokyo stocks ended sharply higher Tuesday with the Nikkei index jumping over 3 percent, bolstered by a surge in technology shares and the yen’s depreciation against the U.S. dollar. The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average ended up 1,207.51 points, or 3.45 percent, from Friday at 36,232.51. The broader Topix index finished 70.25 points, or 2.83 percent, higher at 2,553.55. Every industry category on the top-tier Prime Market gained ground except for air transportation issues. Gainers were led by insurance, electric appliance and securities house issues.
