Nikkei ekes out small gain

Japanese share market eked-out small gains after recouping intraday losses on Thursday, 16 April 2015. The market registered first gain in three consecutive day, as bidding in commodity-related and real estate shares helped to offset general profit-taking in heavily-weighted exporter stocks. The benchmark Nikkei 225 index rose 16.01 points, or 0.08%, to finish at 19885.77, while the broader Topix index of all first-section shares added 10.61 points, or 0.67%, to 1599.42.
