Asian stocks slip, yen rises in holiday-hit trade

Asian stocks slipped on Friday, as fears about the impact of the Federal Reserve's stimulus withdrawal on emerging markets offset the reassurance of upbeat U.S. growth data. The U.S. dollar index was nearly flat on the day at 81.101 (.DXY) but remained close to a one-week high against a basket of major currencies hit on Thursday, when it rose as far as 81.135 from a session low of 80.545.
