Nikkei falls 0.9% on profit booking

The Japanese share market ended stronger in subdued trade on Wednesday, 28 October 2015, as upbeat earnings reports blue-chip companies drove buying interest, although, gains were capped amid a wait-and-see mood ahead of the outcome of a US Federal Reserve monetary policy meeting later in the day. Total 20 out of 33 TSE first-section sector sub-indexes ended higher, with gainers were led by pharmaceuticals, information and communication, and air transport issues. The Nikkei Stock Average rose 125.98 points, or 0.67%, to end at 18903.02 points. The broader Topix index grew 0.26%, or 4.08 points, to 1547.19 at the close.
