TOKYO, June 6 (Xinhua) -- Tokyo stocks rose Thursday morning following Wall Street's overnight lead, but gains were capped amid concerns over the United States' failure to reach a deal with Mexico on tariffs.

The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average gained 56.36 points, or 0.27 percent, from Wednesday to 20,832.46.

The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, meanwhile, added 0.51 point, or 0.03 percent, at 1,530.59.

Information and communication, air transportation and rubber product-linked issues comprised those that gained the most by the morning break.
