Nikkei’s share average rose in choppy trade on Wednesday, extending its gains into a ninth day, but gains were limited after upbeat U.S. data fed fears a rate hike may come earlier than expected.
The Nikkei 225 ended 0.2 percent higher to 20,472.58 after moving between negative and positive territory.
The broader Topix gained 0.1 percent to 1,661.33 and the JPX-Nikkei Index 400 rose 0.1 percent to 15,020.90.
