TOKYO, Dec 3 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei average rose 1
percent on Wednesday after tumbling to a nearly two-week low the
day before, with a strong yen weighing on exporters such as Sony
Corp that had initially been boosted by bargain hunting.
Automakers suffered, with Honda Motor Co down 5.5 percent in
the face of a sharp drop in U.S. sales and a report by the Nikkei
business daily that it is scaling back its overseas expansion
plans.
The benchmark Nikkei gained 77.29 points to 7,940.98, having
earlier edged above 8,000 after tumbling 6.4 percent on Tuesday.
The broader Topix rose 0.8 percent to 793.00.
