[TOKYO] Tokyo shares opened fractionally higher on Friday after US stocks roared to fresh records overnight, thanks to receding concerns over US-China trade tensions.

The headline Nikkei index added 0.10 per cent or 24.94 points to 23,889.79 in early trade, while the broader Topix index edged up 0.02 per cent or 0.39 points to 1,736.50.
