Asian markets outside Japan rose early Friday on the back of a strong close on Wall Street overnight, but a stronger yen curbed risk appetite in Tokyo.
Japanese shares underperformed the region, inching down as dollar-yen pulled back to the 118 territory. The benchmark Nikkei 225 index had been the region’s top performer on Thursday, piling on 1.9 percent.
South Korea’s Kospi index edged up in early trade, after closing at a two-week low in the previous session. Index heavyweights provided upward momentum, with utility Kepco leading gains with a 1.8 percent rise. The top two heaviest weighted stocks Samsung Electronics and Hyundai Motor climbed 0.5 and 3.2 percent each.
