Nikkei sags 0.4 percent
Japan's Nikkei 225 index nudged down,
as the dollar-yen made muted moves to trade around 124.47. Export-oriented
plays fell into the red, with the currency providing little upward momentum.
Sony led losses among blue chips, with a slump of 1.2 percent.
Toyota Motor and Mitsubishi Electric
eased 0.6 percent each, while Toshiba inched down 0.2 percent. Banking counters
also came under selling pressure after Thursday's upswing;
Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group
opened down more than 1 percent each, while Mizuho Financial Group lost 0.8
percent.
