Japanese equities advanced on Thursday on positive manufacturing data from China. China's PMI attained three-month high of 50.2 in October, suggesting that the country's manufacturing activity swung from contraction to expansion. Meanwhile, investors remained cautious ahead of key US data releases due later in the day. The Nikkei 225 Index jumped 0.21% to close at 8,946.87. Six out of ten sectors within the index rose. The top-gainers were telecommunications and health care sectors. Softbank rallied 3.60% while Astellas Pharma climbed 4.41%. Meanwhile, Nippon Meat Packers surged 12.53% after unveiling its plan to buy back about USD188 billion in shares. Mazda Motor jumped 10.53% as the company lowered its earnings forecast less than expected. At the same time, Sharp tumbled 1.74% on speculation that the TV maker may revise down its full-year net loss forecast. Panasonic was the top-loser after announcing a loss estimate 30 times larger than market consensus.
