The Japan share market ended higher on Tuesday, 17 May 2016, thanks to overnight Wall Street gains and a weaker yen. However, market gains were limited as many investors were taking a wait-and-see approach before Japan releases first-quarter economic growth data on Wednesday. The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average ended up 186.40 points, or 1.13%, to 16652.80. The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange finished 14.20 points, or 1.07%, higher at 1335.85.
