TOKYO, June 10 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei average rose 0.5 percent on Wednesday, lifted by technology stocks such as Canon Inc after Texas Instruments' improved outlook boosted their peers on Wall Street.
Machinery stocks such as Komatsu Ltd advanced, even after data showed Japan's core machinery orders unexpectedly fell 5.4 percent in April, compared with a median market forecast for a 0.4 percent increase.
The benchmark Nikkei added 46.82 points to 9,833.64, still in sight of the eight-month intraday high of 9,914.07 hit on Monday.
The broader Topix gained 0.6 percent to 923.33. (Reporting by Aiko Hayashi)
