Japan's Nikkei share average rebounded on Friday after six consecutive sessions of losses, although gains were tempered by caution ahead of corporate earnings reports and next month's US midterm elections, Reuters reported.
The Nikkei rose 1.75% to 65,550.68 by the midday break, recovering some ground after plunging nearly 5% in the previous session. Despite the rebound, the index remained down about 5% for the week.
