Japan: Nikkei gains on weaker yen

Japan share market finished session higher on Friday, 15 June 2018, as investor sentiment was lifted by the gain in Wall Street overnight and the yen's depreciation against the dollar. Investors largely ignored the Bank of Japan's widely expected decision to keep its ultra-loose monetary policy unchanged. The benchmark Nikkei 225 index gained 0.50% or 113.14 points to close at 22,851.75, while the broader Topix index was up 0.29% or 5.15 points at 1,789.04.
