  • The spill over to equity market sentiment is also weighing, Japan (-0.60) and South Korean (-0.33%) equities slipping, while US futures have also weakened.
  • Still, AUD/JPY is up smalls on the day, holding close to 92.00 (last 91.90). USD/JPY is trading with a slightly stronger beta to the US yield move at this stage.
