The Japan share market finished session marginally higher in thin trading on Wednesday, 27 December 2017, partly helped by purchases of small- and mid-cap issues by individual investors. But, market gain capped due to sluggish overnight performances of U.S. equities. Among TSE 33 issues, oil and coal product, and mining-linked issues comprised those that gained the most, while rubber product and food issues lead the day's notable decliners. The 225-issue Nikkei average rose 18.52 points, or 0.08 percent, to end at 22,911.21. The Topix index of all first-section issues closed up 2.78 points, or 0.15 percent, at 1,829.79.
