Japan's Nikkei books best week since mid-August, but BOJ caps gains
Nikkei share average rose on Friday and logged its best week since mid-August, but gains were capped as the yen strengthened after the Bank of Japan set the stage for future interest rate hikes
The tech-heavy Nikkei ended the day up 1.53% at 37,723.91, with chip-sector stocks rallying in line with their U.S. peers. The index advanced 1.57% for the week.
The broader Topix index advanced 0.97%.
The Nikkei rose as much as 2.21% in morning trade, paring gains as the yen strengthened after the BOJ upgraded its assessment of consumption and highlighted the increased sensitivity of inflation to currency fluctuations.
The BOJ held short-term interest rates steady at 0.25%, as was widely expected following hikes in March and July.
