Japanese share market advanced to fresh 15-year high on Tuesday, 24 February 2015, as appetite for riskier assets grew from greenback strength against the yen. But gains on the upside were limited on caution ahead of the Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen's testimony later in the day. The Nikkei Stock Average ended up 0.7% at 18,603.48, its highest closing mark since April 20, 2000. The index has risen for a fifth straight session. Meanwhile, the broader Topix index added 0.36% to 1508.28.
