TOKYO, Oct 26 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei average edged lower on Tuesday as the yen stayed near a 15-year high against the dollar, but many investors took a wait-and-see stance as Japanese firms were heading into the peak of their earnings reporting.
The benchmark Nikkei opened down 0.2 percent, or 14.61 points, at 9,486.55, while the broader Topix fell 0.2 percent at 819.30. (Reporting by Chikafumi Hodo; Editing by Edmund Klamann)
