Japanese share market advanced for third straight session on Wednesday, 15 July 2015, on tracking gains on the Wall Street overnight, China's slightly-better-than-expected economic growth, and the Bank of Japan's decision to stand pat at its monetary policy meeting. However, gains on the upside capped on caution ahead of the US Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen's semi-annual monetary-policy testimony. The Nikkei Stock Average advanced 78 points, or 0.38%, to end at 20463.33 points. The broader Topix index rose 0.47%, or 7.70 points, to close at 1646.41 points.
