That reinforced expectations that the central bank will keep its key interest rate unchanged at a policy meeting next week. Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index lost 1% to 37,771.79, while the Japanese yen rose against the U.S. dollar. Early Friday, the dollar was trading at 151.64 yen, down from 151.89 yen. Hong Kong's Hang Seng a
