Japan Market extends rally to fourth day

The Japan share market closed up for fourth straight session on Thursday, 06 October 2016, with investor sentiment brightened by tracking gains on the Wall Street overnight and as the yen continued to weaken against the dollar. But the market's topside grew heavy as a wait-and-see mood spread ahead of Friday's release of U.S. employment data. The Nikkei average rose 79.86 points, or 0.47%, to finish at 16,899.10. The Topix index closed up 6.12 points, or 0.45%, at 1,353.93. Rising issues outnumbered falling ones 1,116 to 714 on the TSE's first section, while 151 issues were unchanged. Volume turnover slightly fell to 1,702 million shares, from Wednesday's 1,720 million shares.
