TOKYO: Japan's Nikkei share average advanced on Wednesday as investors took comfort that some firms, such as Hitachi Ltd and Komatsu Ltd, did not cut their full-year earnings guidance as feared.
The Nikkei rose 1 percent to 8,928.29, and was up 0.7 percent this month, its third straight monthly gain.
The broader Topix index climbed 1.2 percent to 742.33.
