TOKYO, Nov. 20 (Xinhua Finance) -- Tokyo shares ended slightly higher as buying offset selling for the yen's fast retreat on Thursday, but the upward trend was limited due to profit-taking after recent rallies.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average inched up 12.11 points, or 0. 07 percent, to 17,300.86.
The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange edged up 1.10 points, or 0.08 percent, at 1, 397.64.
Gainers were led by textiles, mining and marine transport issues.
The turnover was about 2,243.9 billion yen (about 18.94 billion U.S. dollars).
