Nikkei hits new 15-year high

Japanese share market advanced to a fresh 15-year high on Friday, 20 February 2015, as sentiment for risk assets grew from greenback strength against the yen, upbeat Japanese trade data and optimism over a solution to the Greek debt standoff. The Nikkei 225 stock index ended 0.37% higher at 18332.30, a highest level since May 2000. The broader Topix added 0.36% to 1500.33, its strongest close since December 2007.
