Japan stocks erase losses, TOPIX turns positive
Japanese shares reversed earlier losses to turn positive on Thursday, as foreign investors bought battered blue chips and as the yen pulled back from all-time highs.
The broad TOPIX was up 0.3 percent as of 0530 GMT (1:30 a.m. ET), after falling as much as 4.3 percent earlier.
The Nikkei average and futures traded on the Osaka Securities Exchange also briefly turned positive on the day.
Ten-year JGB futures were up 0.06 points at 139.78.
