Japanese share market extended its winning streak to the 11th straight session on Friday, 29 May 2015, on the back of yen hovering near 12-year low versus the dollar, with metal producers and energy explorers led the advance. Market gain was, however, marginal after official data showing Japan's inflation slid back to zero. The Nikkei Stock Average rose 11.69 points, or 0.1%, to end at 20563.15, the highest level since April 2000, and closing the month with a gain of 5.3%. The Topix index of all Tokyo Stock Exchange First Section issues advanced 0.05%, or 0.89 point, to 1673.65.
