Japan's Nikkei 225 opened 197.79 points higher, up 0.30%, at 65,711.78 on Friday, September 25.

Morgan Stanley on Friday revised its Bank of England outlook, now expecting 25bps hikes in November and again in February after previously forecasting no rate moves in the foreseeable future. The bank said it has formally shifted to two quarter-point increases and flagged tighter fiscal policy as the key potential catalyst. Analysts expect growth to slow at the start of next year but judge near-term risks balanced given strong global growth. The Bank of England last week held rates, warned a prolonged Iran war could force further tightening, and projected inflation above 4% in early next year.
