The Japanese share market advanced further on Tuesday, 06 October 2015, as investor sentiment was buoyed by overnight rises in European and U.S. equities and agreement on the 12-Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. But market gain was limited as investors remained reluctant to take lopsided positions before outcome of the Bank of Japan two-day monetary policy meeting due on Wednesday. Total 28 out of 33 first-section sector sub-indexes added strength, with Fishery, Agriculture & Forestry, Iron & Steel, Warehousing & Harbor Transportation Services, Information & Communication, Precision Instruments, Mining, and Oil & Coal Products issues being major gainers. The Nikkei Stock Average advanced 180.61 points, or 1%, to end at 18186.10 points, meanwhile the broader Topix index climbed up 0.81%, or 11.92 points, to 1475.84 at the close.
