Japanese markets closed on the positive note on Wednesday amid upbeat data from domestic economy. Japan's exports climbed more-than-expected last month as exports to China swung to growth. However, the country's trade balance missed estimates in January. Meanwhile, investors continued to anticipate the naming of the new governor of the BoJ. The Nikkei 225 Index reached a 52-week high to close at 11,468.28. All industries included in the index advanced. The biggest gains were posted by utility industry that skyrocketed 4.37%. Tokyo Electric Power Co, Osaka Gas Co and Kansai Electric Power Co surged 9.69%, 5.38% and 3.80%, respectively.

However, the gains were limited by Ebara Corp ending down 7.64% after the firm announced it plans to raise JPY35.1 billion through a public offering, stoking worries of dilution.
