Nikkei hits new 3-months high

The Japanese share market ended slight higher on Thursday, 26 November 2015, on the back of yen softness against greenback and hopes for policy measures at home. But, topside was limited due to a lack of trading cues amid the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. The day's notable gainers comprised Construction, Information & Communication, Financial Business, Transportation Equipment, and Nonferrous Metals issues, while Pulp & Paper, Textiles & Apparels, and Oil & Coal Products issues were among major losers. The Nikkei 225 index at the Tokyo Stock Exchange ended up 49%, or 96.83 points, to hit new 3-months high 19944.41, while the wider Topix index of all first-section shares 0.48%, or 7.65 points, to 1602.32.
