The Japan share market finished session higher on Thursday, 20 July 2017, with investor sentiment staying bright after record highs on Wall Street overnight. Meanwhile, gains were further aided by prospects of strong corporate profits and expectations that the Bank of Japan will stick to its loose policy path for some time. Also supporting the mood was data early in the day which showed Japan's exports rose for a seventh straight month in June, led by shipments of cars and electronics. The benchmark Nikkei 225 index rose 0.62%, or 123.73 points, to 20,144.59 while the Topix index of all first-section issues gained 0.69%, or 11.14 points, at 1,633.01.
