Tokyo’s main index closes near flat levels in mixed session
Asian equities are generally mixed as risk sentiment appears to be indecisive on the new day. Wall Street ended overnight trading with gains but not as great as they should have been and that is leading to a less optimistic mood to start the new day.
Treasury yields are slightly lower across the curve while US equity futures are trading flat at the moment. Meanwhile, the Hang Seng index is down by 0.5% but the Shanghai Composite is up by 0.6% on the day.
That just basically underscores the prevailing mixed tone in markets and that is leading to a bit of a quiet start for currencies as well in the European morning.
