Japanese markets eked out modest gains as a weaker yen helped lift export-related stocks. The Nikkei average rose 0.30 percent to 38,256.17 while the broader Topix index settled 0.73 percent higher at 2,736.25. Shares of convenience store operator Seven & i Holdings plummeted 11 percent after the founding Ito family of the company failed to secure financing for a $58 billion management buyout.
