Japanese equities extended previous gains on Friday on mounting hopes that the Bank of Japan will ease its monetary policy to stimulate faltering economy. Encouraging news from the US manufacturing sector as well as weaker Yen also boosted Japanese stocks. However, hints that the POBC is not going to provide large stimulus capped the upswing.

Nippon Telegraph & Telephone slid 0.13% while Astellas Pharma and Chugai Pharmaceutical sank 1.02% and 0.59%
