Equity markets recover after a brief dip

As the Nikkei closes up for the day, the Hang Seng and Shanghai Composite index are following suit as well. They're now both up 0.08% and 0.09% respectively after being briefly lower on the day.

Even as North Korea made a special announcement to brag about their missile launching capabilities, investors are shrugging it off and continuing to keep calm.

USD/JPY is still struggling to find direction though, basically unchanged on the day at 111.47. Meanwhile, EUR/USD just got a pop up to hit an intraday high of 1.1860.

They don't seem impressed by my missile. Maybe I need a bigger one?
