Japanese shares jumped on Wednesday, boosted by exporters and basic materials. Moreover, hopes that new government will push the BoJ to cut interest rates to record low also lifted Japanese equities. However, weak national numbers restricted an upward trend. Japan's trade balance climbed less-than-expected last month in wake of falling exports to China. The Nikkei 225 Index soared 0.87% to close at 9,222.52. Seven out of ten sectors advanced. Consumer goods and basic materials led gains. Canon and Pioneer rose 0.97% and 2.16% after the Yen hit seven-month low. Among basic materials producers, Dowa Holdings and Nippon Light Metal Holdings surged 2.35% and 4.23%. Meanwhile, Softbank added 3.02% after J.P. Morgan revised up the price target by 8.6% to JPY3,800. However, financials and utilities created pressure on Nikkei. NKSJ Holdings and T&D Holdings dropped 0.72% and 0.78%, while Tokyo Gas shed 1.17%.
