TOKYO, Oct. 15 (Xinhua) -- Tokyo stocks opened higher Tuesday on the back of a partial trade deal made last week between China and the United States, with construction-linked issues advancing after a powerful typhoon battered wide swathes of Japan over the weekend.

As of 9:15 a.m., the 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average added 288.50 points, or 1.32 percent, from Friday to 22,087.37.

The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, meanwhile, gained 21.24 points, or 1.33 percent, at 1,616.51.

All industry categories advanced into positive territory, with marine transportation, construction, steel and iron-oriented issues comprising those that gained the most.
