Tokyo's main index closes lower on the day

  • Session high 22,864.33

This comes despite the market having a little bit of a recovery on sentiment following last Friday's news about Flynn and Trump.

USD/JPY is now at 112.83, holding the gap up early this morning over the weekend. Meanwhile, Hong Kong's Hang Seng index is up 0.54% so far today while the Shanghai Composite is down 0.08% thus far.

US 10-year yields have opened today with a gap up as well, to 2.40% after closing on Friday at 2.36% levels.
