Japan’s Nikkei futures rise

Japan’s Nikkei futures rose on Friday during the lunchbreak after the Bank of Japan left its ultra-easy policy settings unchanged, setting the index up for a 10th consecutive weekly gain.

The Nikkei share average fell 0.5% to 33,305 by the end of the morning session. Its weekly winning streak is the longest in 11 years and has carried the market more than 20% higher.

Nikkei futures lifted into positive territory after the BOJ decision was announced, during the market’s mid-session break.
