TOKYO, July 6 (Reuters) - Japan s Nikkei rose on Tuesday,
helped by a rebound in shares of Daikin Industries, Uniqlo-maker
Fast Retailing and SoftBank Group after steep declines in the
previous session.
The Nikkei share average was up 0.5% at 28,725.81 by
the midday break, while the broader Topix was also 0.5%
higher at 1,959.34.
Daikin rallied 3.7%, with Fast Retailing
adding 0.8% and SoftBank advancing 1.4%. These three

shares in Asia climbed, after a weekend spike in COVID-19
infections in Tokyo just weeks before the city hosts the
