Nikkei close up 0.23%

Last Updated : Sep 08 2014 | 4:48 PM IST

Japanese share market closed higher for the first time in three consecutive sessions on Monday, 08 September 2014, as greenback firmness above 105 level against the yen and gains on Wall Street on last Friday helped the market to shrug off both weak US labour data and a disappointing downward revision to Japanese gross domestic product numbers. The key Nikkei 225 index at the Tokyo Stock Exchange gained 0.23%, 36.43 points, to 15705.11, while the Topix index of all-first section issues went up 0.42%, or 5.43 points, to 1298.64.
