Asian stocks edged up and the dollar rose to 1-1/2-month highs versus the yen on Friday ahead of the US non-farm payrolls report due later in the day. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan added 0.1 percent, taking cues from a modest bounce in Wall Street overnight. Japan's Nikkei climbed 1 percent on the back of a weaker yen and Australian stocks added 0.4 percent. Wall Street was marginally higher, underpinned by speculation the widely-anticipated labor market report on Friday would show US payrolls growth in February was far more than economist forecast. The nonfarm payrolls report is expected to show 190,000 jobs were added in the US private and public sectors in February.
