Nikkei up 0.26%

The Japan share market advanced for fifth straight session on Tuesday, 06 September 2016, on the back of yen weakness against greenback and possibilities for stimulus from central banks. All but five of the 33 industry groups on the Topix rose with telecommunication-service providers and banks among groups contributing the most to the gain.
