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

US stock futures fell 0.2 per cent while MSCIs Asia-Pacific share index excluding Japan shed 0.4 per cent, though it was still up 0.4 per cent on the week. 

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