Nikkei retains 15-years high level

Japanese share market closed marginally higher after recouping intraday losses on Monday, 1 June 2015, helping the Nikkei Stock Average to extend its winning streak to 12 days. The positive finishing was propelled due to greenback appreciation above the 124-mark against the yen, a highest since Dec. 5, 2002, and after the finance ministry data indicated Japanese capital investment rose 5.8% from the previous quarter in the January-March period. The Nikkei Stock Average rose 6.72 points, or 0.03%, to end at 20569.87, the highest level since April 2000. The Topix index of all Tokyo Stock Exchange First Section issues advanced 0.29%, or 4.91 points, to 1678.56.
