Asian markets settled mixed on Friday after data showed the US economy grew at an estimated 2.8% annual rate from April through June, double the rate from the prior quarter, while investors were awaiting the release of the PCE index and the Fed's policy meeting next week. Japanese shares declined, and the yen stabilized near a 12-week high against the US dollar ahead of next week's Bank of Japan policy meeting, where a 10-bps interest rate hike may be on the table. Taiwan shares tumbled as markets reopened from a two-day typhoon market closure.
