TOKYO, April 1 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei share average

rose on Tuesday, bouncing back from a near eight-month low hit

in the previous session, as overnight gains in Wall Street

lifted investor sentiment.

As of 0016, the Nikkei index was up 1% at 35,987.44.

The index closed lower on Monday as investors assessed the

risk of imminent U.S. trade tariffs.

The broader Topix rose 1.34% to 2,693.07.

The S&P 500 rose 0.5% and the Dow Jones Industrial

Average gained 1% overnight, temporarily shaking off the

uncertainty around U.S. President Donald Trump's upcoming tariff

plans, which are expected to be outlined in greater detail on

Wednesday.

Uniqlo-brand owner Fast Retailing ( FRCOF ) rose 2.1% to give

the biggest boost to the Nikkei. Shares of technology investor

SoftBank Group rose 0.6%.

So far, 203 stocks of the Nikkei's 225 components were

trading in the green.
