Japan's shares advance to highest since May
Japan's equities increased on Thursday pushing the local benchmark index towards the strongest closing price since May as the country's currency weakened on Finance Minister's remark that the nation must retain currency-market intervention option. The Nikkei 225 gained 2.1% to 14,876.41 Tokyo time, the most since May 22, while Topix Index jumped 1.2% to 1,218.55.
