Nikkei extends gain to highest level in more than a month

The Japan share market closed at the highest closing level in more than one month on Friday, 15 September 2017, supported by the dollar's resilience against the yen despite North Korea's ballistic missile firing over Japan. The 225-issue Nikkei average rose 102.06 points, or 0.52%, to close at 19,909.50, its highest finish since Aug. 8. The Topix index of all first-section issues ended up 6.81 points, or 0.42%, at 1,638.94.
