Nikkei adds strength on Trans-Pacific Partnership deal

The Japanese share market advanced further on Tuesday, 06 October 2015, as investor sentiment was buoyed by overnight rises in European and U.S. equities and agreement on the 12-Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. But market gain was limited as investors remained reluctant to take lopsided positions before outcome of the Bank of Japan two-day monetary policy meeting due on Wednesday. Total 28 out of 33 first-section sector sub-indexes added strength, with Fishery, Agriculture & Forestry, Iron & Steel, Warehousing & Harbor Transportation Services, Information & Communication, Precision Instruments, Mining, and Oil & Coal Products issues being major gainers. The Nikkei Stock Average advanced 180.61 points, or 1%, to end at 18186.10 points, meanwhile the broader Topix index climbed up 0.81%, or 11.92 points, to 1475.84 at the close.
