Asian stocks advanced on Friday, once again shrugging off a sluggish day on Wall Street, and the dollar strengthened as attention shifted to the central bankers' symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, that began on Thursday.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan, was up 0.1 percent, set to end the week 1.4 percent higher.
Overnight, Wall Street indexes closed between 0.1 percent and 0.2 percent lower as a rift between U.S. President Donald Trump and Congress appeared to widen.
In a post on Twitter, Trump said Congress could have avoided a legislative "mess" if it had heeded his advice on raising the amount of money the government can borrow, known as the debt ceiling.
That came after Trump said on Tuesday that he would be willing to risk a government shutdown to secure funding for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
