Nikkei extends gain

Last Updated : Apr 14 2016 | 12:01 AM IST

The Japan share market spurted on Wednesday, 13 April 2016, as relative weakness in the yen against the dollar, rise in prices for crude oil and base metal, and positive China trade data lifted up risk sentiments. All industry categories on the main section advanced, with insurance, mining and banking-linked shares comprising the morning's notable winners. The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average climbed 452.43 points, or 2.84 percent, to 16381.22. The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, meanwhile, jumped 33.09 points, or 2.55 percent, to 1,332.44.
