LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- Japanese stocks opened higher Thursday, with banks helped by earnings results and a weaker yen lifting exporters, particularly in the auto space. The Nikkei Stock Average /quotes/zigman/5986735 JP:100000018 +0.82% gained 0.5% to 8,703.95, with the Topix rising 0.6%. Shares in Japan's top three banks climbed after having fallen ahead of their late Wednesday earnings reports. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. /quotes/zigman/267078 JP:8306 +2.32% /quotes/zigman/392753/quotes/nls/mtu MTU -2.07% gained 0.6%, Mizuho Financial Group Inc. /quotes/zigman/317735 JP:8411 +1.64% /quotes/zigman/1500746/quotes/nls/mfg MFG -0.98% added 0.8%, while Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc. /quotes/zigman/310742 JP:8316 +3.08% /quotes/zigman/1557301/quotes/nls/smfg SMFG -0.17% -- the only of the three to report a rise in profit -- gained 2%. The big three reported a collective $7.5 billion writedown for their stock holdings, but managed to reap gains from their bond portfolios. Meanwhile, the dollar's return above the 80-yen handle and the euro's return above ?102, helped propel exporters higher, with Honda Motor Co. /quotes/zigman/193651 JP:7267 +2.60% /quotes/zigman/193599/quotes/nls/hmc HMC -0.64% adding 1.5%, Mazda Motor Corp. /quotes/zigman/195040 JP:7261 +2.80% /quotes/zigman/195045/quotes/nls/mzdaf MZDAF +5.83% rallying 2.8%, Nissan Motor Co. /quotes/zigman/196473 JP:7201 +1.32% /quotes/zigman/202910/quotes/nls/nsany NSANY -0.87% up 1.6%, and Toyota Motor Corp. /quotes/zigman/199438 JP:7203 +1.80% /quotes/zigman/199376/quotes/nls/tm TM -1.87% jumping 2.1% despite announcing a massive worldwide recall just ahead of the close of Wednesday's trading. Among tech exporters, NEC Corp. /quotes/zigman/195976 JP:6701 +2.96% /quotes/zigman/195985/quotes/nls/nipnf NIPNF -1.21% and Nintendo Co. /quotes/zigman/195847 JP:7974 +1.18% /quotes/zigman/195853/quotes/nls/ntdof NTDOF +2.00% each climbed 1.5%, but Sony Corp. /quotes/zigman/197500 JP:6758 -10.69% /quotes/zigman/197524/quotes/nls/sne SNE -8.82% shot 10.1% lower after announcing plans to issue about $1.85 billion in convertible bonds.
