TOKYO (Reuters) - U.S. stock futures dipped and the yen rose in a knee-jerk reaction after North Korea fired a missile over Japan into the Pacific Ocean, in a sign Pyongyang has no plan to change its course after a renewed international sanction.

U.S. stock futures (ESc1) fell 0.25 percent while U.S. Treasuries futures (TYc1) rose 4/32 in price.

Nikkei futures traded in Chicago suggested Nikkei average (N225) could fall about 0.2 percent.

The dollar fell to as low as 109.55 yen from around 110.20 in late U.S. trade on Thursday and last stood at 109.90 yen.
