Japanese stocks are higher after major U.S. stock indexes hit all-time highs, partly due to continued expectations for loose Fed monetary policy.
Tech, metals, and electronics stocks are leading the gains. SoftBank Group is up 4.9%, Sumitomo Metal Mining is 4.7% higher, and Hitachi Ltd. is up 3.2%.
USD/JPY is at 155.58, compared with 156.09 as of Thursday's Tokyo stock market close.
Investors are closely watching economic data and Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's policy steps ahead of the Bank of Japan's policy meeting next week.
The Nikkei Stock Average is 1.1% higher at 50694.27.
