Modest gains to wrap up the week for the Nikkei
Risk is in a slightly better spot going into European trading but nothing too overly positive, with Asian equities keeping higher for the most part in the closing stages.
The Hang Seng is up by 0.1%, paring earlier losses while the Shanghai Composite is also at the highs going into the final hour now trading up by 0.8%.
Elsewhere, US futures are sitting around 0.2% higher as we look to start European trading.
Major currencies aren't really doing all too much but are seen extending their narrow ranges today a little with EUR/USD at 1.1217 and GBP/USD nearing 1.2450 currently.
