Tokyo's main index is down on the day - 13 Dec 2017
- Session high 22,879.37
- Session low 22,697.32
Again, tech continues to be a drag for the Nikkei as the sector is down 1.14% on the day. The Nikkei is pretty much bucking the trend in Asian equities as the Hang Seng index and Shanghai Composite are both up on the day - following US equity markets' record closing again.
Meanwhile, USD/JPY continues to trade in the lower bound - now at 113.35 after bouncing from session lows earlier in the day. US 10-year yields are lower as well following the Alabama vote, falling from 2.40% to 2.39%.
