TOKYO, Sept 19 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei share average continued its winning ways on Friday, rising to a record before an expected hold on policy from the Bank of Japan.
The gains in Japan followed another record day on Wall Street after a rate cut by the Federal Reserve, which forecast more easing this year.
The Nikkei 225 Index .N225 jumped 1% to 45,750.05 in early trading, reaching as high as 45,852.75. The broader Topix .TOPX climbed 0.8% and was also at an all-time high.
The Nikkei closed above the 45,000 level on Thursday for the first time. There were 183 advancers on the index against 41 decliners.
