Stocks in Japan edged down on Friday as investors were focused on the U.S. Fed monetary policy meeting next week.

The share average of Nikkei fell 0.2% to 18,264.22 but managed to snap a 4-week losing streak by gaining 2.7 percent throughout a week of volatility and short-covering.

The benchmark index wiped out its year-to-date gains on Tuesday only to bounce bank on Wednesday with its biggest single-day rise since October 2008.
