Tokyo's main index closes slightly higher in mixed session for Asian equities
Asian equities are wrapping up the session in mixed fashion as Japanese stocks post gains while Chinese stocks are lagging on the day. The Hang Seng index is down by 0.8% currently as softer tones due to global growth worries are prevailing among Chinese equity investors.
That said, overall risk sentiment remains more balanced with US equity futures barely changed on the day and bond yields also not really moving as we begin the European morning. That should keep yen pairs generally stable to start the session with USD/JPY still holding near unchanged levels at 111.07 currently.
