Japanese share market advanced to fresh 15-year peak on Wednesday, 08 April 2015, as persistent buying in large-cap shares, after Bank of Japan maintained its massive stimulus and its optimistic view of the economy. The yen softening at 120 yen against the US dollar also contributed to boosting the market. The benchmark Nikkei 225 index inclined 149.27 points, or 0.76%, to finish at 19789.81, its highest level since April 2000, while the broader Topix index of all first-section shares advanced 9.92 points, or 0.63%, to 1588.47.
