Asia stocks mixed after U.S. tech rout, yen steady as BOJ stands pat

Asian stocks were little changed on Friday, as investors searched for catalysts in the wake of a resumption of the U.S. technology rout overnight. The Japanese yen remained near a two-week low against the dollar after the Bank of Japan left monetary policy unchanged as expected even as its U.S. counterpart signaled further tightening. It was trading 0.2 percent lower at 111.14 yen (JPY=D4) per dollar after the BOJ left in place its program to buy Japanese government bonds, and kept its short-term interest rate target at minus 0.1 percent and its 10-year government bond yield target at around zero percent.
