Thursday close

Shares moved higher on hopes that plans to bring an opposition party into a governing coalition would bring more economic stimulus measures.

The benchmark Nikkei index gained 134.30 points, or 0.89%, to close at 15,207.77.

The index has rallied about 800 points this week, closing above 15,000 points on Tuesday for first time since 25 August.

"The market has broken out of its old trading range," said Kunihiro Hatae, general manger of the stock division at Tokyo Securities Co.
