Japan share market finished session higher on Wednesday, 13 June 2018, with export-related stocks being notable gainers, thanks to the yen's drop against the dollar. Sentiment was lifted also by a rise to a new record high in the tech-heavy U.S. Nasdaq composite stock index on Tuesday. But market topside was heavy as some investors retreated to the sidelines to see the results of the U.S. Federal Reserve's policy meeting, due out later Wednesday. Among TSE33 issues, marine transportation, real estate and service-oriented issues comprised those that gained the most. The benchmark Nikkei 225 index rose 0.38%, or 88.03 points, to 22,966.38, while the broader Topix index was up 0.42%, or 7.55 points, at 1,800.37.
