Yen depreciation boosts Nikkei to 0.34% up

Japanese share market closed higher on Monday, 01 September 2014, as yen depreciation against basket of major currencies bolstered buying in export related stocks. Market gain was, however, limited due to less than estimated Japan's capital spending data for the second quarter and growth slowdown in Chinese manufacturing data. The benchmark Nikkei 225 index added 0.34%, or 52.01 points, to finish at 15,476.60, while the Topix index of all first-section shares climbed 0.40%, or 5.09 points, to 1,283.06.
