TOKYO: Japan's Nikkei share average edged lower on Friday as exporters came under pressure from a stronger yen, triggering profit-taking after sharp rises over the past two days.
The dollar tumbled for a third straight day on Thursday as record low interest rates and the crushing weight of the U.S. budget deficit pushed it closer to an all-time trough against major currencies.
The benchmark Nikkei average dropped 0.7 percent to 9,620.53 while the broader Topix shed 0.6 percent to 837.12. ' Reuters
