Nikkei and the Kospi are down 0.9%, Hang Seng down 0.6%, Shanghai down 0.3% and the Aussie All Ords down 0.5%

FX market is in a lull after an earlier sell-off from Tokyo in EUR/JPY

I am expecting the USD/JPY may be bought a little higher pre Europe which in turn may support the crosses…but there again I may be expecting too much !
