Japan shares extend gain to sixth day in row

Japanese share market advanced for sixth straight session on Thursday, 29 May 2014, supported by gaining confidence in the U.S. economic recovery after strong economic data. But a weak lead from Wall Street overnight and stronger yen limited the market gains. The benchmark Nikkei 225 index was up 0.07% to finish at 14,681.72, while the Topix index of all first-section shares rose 0.21% to 1200.68.
