TOKYO, Feb 25 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei average gained 1.6 percent on Wednesday, after nearing a 26-year low the previous day, buoyed by exporters on a softer yen and after a media report that the Japanese government may buy stocks from the market.
The benchmark Nikkei .N225 added 115.35 points to 7,383.91, while the broader Topix rose 1 percent to 737.86.
On Tuesday, the Nikkei booked its lowest close since Oct. 27, after briefly touching 7,155.16 -- not far from a 26-year low just under 7,000. The Topix posted its lowest close since December 1983
