Japan stocks climb on weaker yen

Japanese share market enjoyed a modest gain for second consecutive session on Thursday, 06 August 2015, as risk momentum boosted up by tracking gains in the Wall Street overnight amid better-than-estimated US economic data and yen depreciation against the greenback. Meanwhile, better than expected domestic earnings also bolstered sentiments. The Nikkei Stock Average advanced 50.38 points, or 0.24%, to end at 20664.44 points. The broader Topix index ended 7.73 points, or 0.46%, higher at 1673.56 points.
