A mixed day for Asian equities
Japanese stocks are taking more positive cues from Wall Street yesterday, with the slight drop in the yen earlier on also helping exporter stocks a little.
Elsewhere, the Hang Seng and Shanghai Composite are both down by 0.8% and that is making for a bit more of a mixed mood despite record highs in US stocks yesterday.
US futures are up ~0.1% but is generally trading little changed as we look to get the European morning session underway. In the currencies space, the dollar is staying a little softer as the momentum from yesterday continues slightly.
