The Japan share market finished higher on Friday, 25 August 2017, as investors risk sentiments underpinned by halt to the yen's strengthening against the dollar. However, market gain was limited, with investors looking to a key meeting of the world's top central bankers later in the day. Oil and coal product, information and communication, and pulp and paper-related issues comprised those that gained the most by the close of play. The benchmark Nikkei 225 average rose 98.84 points, or 0.51%, to close at 19,452.61. The Topix of all first-section issues ended up 4.79 points, or 0.30%, at 1,596.99.
