Asian stocks edged up on Thursday, shaking off the risk aversion that gripped financial markets overnight after US President Donald Trump's threat to shut down the government, though the Dollar remained sluggish.

MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 0.15 percent in early trade.

Japan's Nikkei pulled back 0.25 percent on a stronger yen.

Overnight, US stock indexes closed between 0.3 percent and 0.4 percent lower.

Trump said at a Tuesday night rally in Arizona that he would be willing to risk a government shutdown to secure funding for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Those comments came ahead of a late-September deadline to raise the US debt ceiling or risk defaulting on debt payments.

The US dollar added to gains while US Treasury yields hit session highs on Friday after Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said a US interest rate hike will likely be appropriate in the coming months.  US stocks pared their advance.
