"It's a fantastic time to be investing in the Japanese markets"
- Ed Rogers, chief executive officer at Rogers Investment Advisors

Japanese stocks extended gains on Friday after the Federal Reserve said it will extend its asset purchase programme to help the world's largest economy recover.

The Nikkei 225 Stock Average surged 1.83 per cent, or 164.24 points, to 9,159.39. The broader Topix Index advanced 1.70 per cent, or 12.65, to 756.88.

"It's a fantastic time to be investing in the Japanese markets," said Ed Rogers, chief executive officer at Tokyo-based Rogers Investment Advisors, which invests in funds of hedge funds.

"For Japan it means as soon as the U.S. can help repair the finances of consumers, the better it is for Japan."
