A mixed session for Asian equities
Japanese stocks are faring better on the day despite a higher yen, with the Topix also seeing a close higher by 0.7% today.
The more tepid mood in US equities overnight is keeping things more mixed in the region with the Hang Seng seen down 0.6% upon the return from the long weekend while the Shanghai Composite is down 0.4% going into the closing stages.
US futures continue to keep rather lackluster on the day, with S&P 500 futures flat.
