South Korea's intelligence agency says it has an injured North Korean soldier in custody.

No further details as yet.

Added ... OK, here we go:

As I said above, tensions on the Korean peninsula will, at the margin, be a yen positive (flight to safety/liquidity ... so USD positive also). The moves used to be intense on such news that has dissipated.
