STOCKS: Japanese stocks have again climbed a good amount, specifically 195.65pts
today into the lunch break in positive territory with the Nikkei 225 currently
at 19741.42. This emulates the current risk on sentiment in the markets as the
UN council voted in support of the U.N. sanctions on N. Korea and economic cost
estimates from hurricane Irma are looking a lot lower than originally predicted,
oil refinery's have already restarted in Texas.
- All sectors were in the green with insurance being the best performing sector,
Tokio Marine the biggest positive mover, offering casualty and property
insurance, perhaps hurricanes across the globe have influenced this.
- The Hang Seng is currently down around 55pts, unwinding after large gains
yesterday and the ASX Index is in positive territory up 50pts. 
- The USDJPY is mildly down at 109.30 following extensive gains from Monday, the
session saw it's highest gains level since the 5th during the session.
- All U.S. and Europeans stocks are up, the Dow closed 254 points up on the day
