Japanese TV reports a magnitude quake 6.6 centered about 100 miles west of Tokyo in Shizuoka prefecture.
Also crossing the wires is a separate (it seems) 7.7 magnitude quake off India’s Andaman Islands, Reuters reports.
USD/JPY jumped into the 97.20s, but typically USD/JPY falls when Japan faces heavy quake damage as overseas investments must be liquidated to pay insurance claims.
