Japanese shares were bullish on Thursday after preliminary industrial production showed an increase of 2.5%, compared to a forecast of 4.2%. Despite being weaker than forecast, the figure indicates a rebound in industrial production. However, weaker than expected data from the national housing market coupled with dismal US GDP reading weighed on Japanese stocks. The Nikkei 225 Index gained 0.22% to close at 11,138.66. Eight sectors finished in positive area. The top-performers were telecommunications and utilities, with Chubu Electric Power and KDDI advancing 1.05% and 1.04%. In the meantime, brokerages jumped on hopes for better-than-expected earnings. Nomura Holdings and Daiwa Securities Group climbed 2.14% and 4.73%. After the bell, Nomura Holdings posted a sharp increase in profits. In the last quarter of 2012, the company's net income skyrocketed to JPY20.1, compared with JPY2.81 in Q3.
