TOKYO, June 29 (Xinhua) -- Tokyo stocks closed marginally higher Friday as the market mood was lifted by a comparatively weaker yen, but gains were capped by ongoing concerns about trade tensions.

The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average gained 34.12 points, or 0.15 percent, from Thursday to close the day at 22,304.51.

The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, meanwhile, closed 3.89 points, or 0.23 percent, higher at 1,730.89
