TOKYO, Jan 5 (Reuters) – Japanese shares rose on Friday as a weaker yen boosted exporters including automakers and financials climbed amid a continued hunt for value stocks.<\/p>\n

The Nikkei climbed 0.45% to 33,442.62 by the midday break and was set to wrap up the holiday-shortened week with a marginal loss.<\/p>\n

The broader Topix rose 0.56% to 2,392.19 and was on course to rise 1.09% for the week.<\/p>\n

“The market was led by exporters whose shares rose amid the yen’s weakness,” said Shuutarou Yasuda, a market analyst at Tokai Tokyo Research Institute.<\/p>\n

“And, the Topix kept its momentum from the previous session as investors sought to buy shares with higher dividend payouts.”<\/p>\n

The Japanese yen weakened against the dollar as investors tempered expectations of an early interest rate cut from the U.S. Federal Reserve in the wake of resilient labour market data.<\/p>\n

A weaker yen inflates exporters’ earnings when repatriated from overseas.<\/p>\n

Toyota Motor rose 2.07% to become the biggest boost for the Topix, while Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group gained 2.02%. Trading firm Mitsubishi Corp rose 1.86%.<\/p>\n

Among sectors, brokerage and banking gained 2.82% and 2.16%, respectively.<\/p>\n

“Investors continued their hunt for shares that would be included in the portfolio of newly revised NISA programme,” said Shigetoshi Kamada, general manager at the research department at Tachibana Securities.<\/p>\n

The government this month significantly overhauled the Nippon Individual Savings Account (NISA) programme, which exempts retail investors from paying capital gains taxes on holdings of stocks.<\/p>\n

The Topix’s value share index jumped 1.14%, while growth shares inched down 0.02%. (Reporting by Junko Fujita; Editing by Subhranshu Sahu)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
