The majority of the volatility within Asia appears to be concentrated within the Nikkei and the JPY. The Nikkei opened around 1% lower as the currency gapped to the 103 handle, but by the afternoon session it recovered as JPY retraced.

The superficial analysts who think lower rates are good for […]
The weekend BREXIT poll shaped markets as soon as Asia opened today.
