JAPAN STOCKS: Japanese stocks went into the lunch break in negative territory,
the Nikkei 225 currently down 82.6pts at 19388.77.
- 7 of 11 sectors are in the red, the biggest negative mover was the media
industry within the Consumer Discretionary sector, Dentsu being the biggest drag
on the sector.
-The Hang Seng Index is one of the only indexes in strong positive territory
being around 64pts up. 
- USD/JPY is again below the stubborn 110 barrier today and is at 109.24, the
dollar suffering after resignations in Washington and saying goodbye to Bannon
the ex chief strategist which also caused for US stocks to end Friday on a
slump. As the Yen has risen this has weighed on Japanese indices. Markets are
reflecting negative sentiment potentially caused by scheduled war drills.
