The Japanese share market managed to close above the neutral line after trimming early gains on Tuesday, 15 September 2015, as the Bank of Japan (BOJ) maintained its expansionary monetary policy at an annual pace of 80 trillion yen, as widely expected. However, overnight fall at Wall Street along with strengthening Yen against U.S. Dollar capped the upside in the Nikkei. Total 17 out of Topix's 33 industry groups declined, with information & communication, financial business, iron & steel and construction issues led losses. The Nikkei Stock Average advanced 60.78 points, or 0.34%, to end at 18026.48 points. The broader Topix index dropped 0.01%, or 0.17 point, to 1462.24 at the close in Tokyo.
