Equities in other Asian markets were steady in early deals but headed for a weekly loss of more than 2.5 percent. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan recovered initial losses to trade flat. Chinese data this week suggested growth in the world's second-largest economy will slow in the second half of this year.

Overnight on Wall Street, two of the three key indices fell 0.2 percent each, whereas the tech stocks-heavy Nasdaq Composite edged up 0.1 percent. S&P 500 E-Mini futures were down 0.1 percent in early Asian trade on Friday, suggesting a muted start ahead in the US later in the day.
