Nikkei 225Saham JepangIndeksTopix
Japan’s Nikkei eked out small gains on Thursday but the market was hampered by concerns about the U.S. trade war with Mexico and China, prompting investors to buy domestic-demand oriented shares.
The Nikkei share average rose 0.27% to 20,832.46 though the index was propped up disproportionately by rises in its top two heavyweights, Softbank Group and Fast Retailing, which rose 3.4% and 2.8% respectively.
The broader Topix, which investors say more accurately reflects the market, was almost flat, up 0.03% at 1,530.59.
