U.S. stock futures and Asian shares dipped after North Korea fired another missile over Japan into the Pacific Ocean on Friday, demonstrating Pyongyang`s defiance in the face of intensifying sanctions.

U.S. stock futures fell 0.2 percent while MSCI`s Asia-Pacific share index excluding Japan shed 0.4 percent, though it was still up 0.4 percent on the week.

Japan`s Nikkei ticked up 0.1 percent.

Japan said the North Korean missile fell into sea about 2,000 km (1,240 miles) east of Hokkaido.

The launch came just days after the U.N. Security Council approved new sanctions against Pyongyang for its Sept. 3 nuclear test, but markets are growing accustomed to North Korea`s sabre-rattling.

"There have been reports suggesting North Korea is preparing a missile launch, so this was by no means a surprise," said Hirokazu Kabeya, chief global strategist at Daiwa Securities.

"Also, in the past, markets have stabilised within a few days after a North Korean missile launch. So in a way this seems like something markets have already experienced before, thus producing a limited reaction," he added.

Before North Korea`s missile launch, U.S. bond yields had risen while Wall Street shares were mixed after U.S. consumer inflation data rekindled expectations that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in December.

The consumer price index rose 0.4 percent in August from July, faster than the 0.3 percent increase forecast by analysts in a Reuters poll.

The so-called core CPI, which excludes volatile energy and food prices, rose 0.2 percent. On a 12-month basis, it was 1.7 percent, above the 1.6 percent forecast by economists.

Following the data, the U.S. Fed funds rate futures were pricing in a roughly 45 percent chance the Fed will raise rates by December, compared to around 25 percent at the start of this week.

The 10-year U.S. Treasuries yield rose to as high as 2.225 percent, but slipped back to 2.178 percent in Asia on Friday following North Korea`s missile launch.

In currency markets, the dollar failed to capitalise on the CPI data as the rally it begun at the start of the week ran out of steam.

The euro traded at $1.1910 , off Thursday`s two-week low of $1.18365.

The British pound held firm after the Bank of England warned it might raise interest rates for the first time in a decade in the "coming months" if the economy and price pressures keep growing.

The pound hit a one-year high of $1.3407 on Thursday and last stood at $1.3388.

Oil prices were lower on Friday but largely held gains that had prices flirting with multi-month highs, as the cleanup after hurricanes in the United States gathered pace and the outlook for demand took on a firmer tone.

Brent crude futures traded at $55.14 per barrel, down 0.6 percent on the day but up 2.5 percent on the week. They hit a five-month high of $55.99 on Thursday.

Elsewhere, bitcoin bounced back 5 percent after having tumbled 16 percent the previous day as Chinese news outlet Yicai reported that the country plans to shut down all bitcoin exchanges by the end of September.

BTCChina, one of China`s top three exchanges, said on Thursday that it would stop all trading from Sept. 30.
