TOKYO, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Japan's Topix index inched up on Thursday, supported by rises in property and financial shares after the Bank of Japan's monetary easing earlier this week, but gains were capped by profit-taking and the persistent strength of the yen.
The broader Topix ended up 0.2 percent at 846.06, while the benchmark Nikkei inched down 0.1 percent to 9,684.81.
The Topix has gained 2.8 percent and the Nikkei has advanced 3.2 percent since the BOJ's credit easing on Tuesday. (Reporting by Aiko Hayashi; Editing by Chris Gallagher)
