Japan Market closes in green

The Japan share market closed in green terrain after recouping early losses on Monday, 24 October 2016, as trade data showed exports did not fall as deep as expected. Meanwhile, yen weknes against the greenback also aided strength to the market. Total 21 out of 33 TSE sectoral issues advanced, with Fishery Agriculture & Forestry, Warehousing & Harbor Transportation Services, Textiles & Apparels, and Glass & Ceramics Products issues being major gainers, whereas Mining, Banks, Precision Instruments, and Iron & Steel issues being major losers.
