Asian shares and U.S. futures were modestly higher Friday after U.S. regained more of their losses after a tumultuous several days.
Tokyo's Nikkei 225 edged 0.2% higher to 53,800.28 after the Bank of Japan kept its key interest rate unchanged, as expected. The central bank just raised the policy rate to 0.75% in December. Wrapping up its policy meeting, it also slightly upgraded its estimates for future inflation and economic growth.
