TOKYO, Aug 23 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei average fell in
early trade on Thursday as exporters came under pressure from a
firmer yen against the dollar, after the U.S. Federal Reserve
signalled it is likely to launch another round of monetary
stimulus "fairly soon".
    The Nikkei dropped 0.6 percent to 9,075.54, while
the broader Topix lost 0.6 percent to 758.16.
