YEN: JPY crosses continue to edge lower on the day, with the Nikkei 225
finishing the morning session 0.5% lower.
- Risk factors include U.S. Trade Rep Lighthizer playing down a risk-positive
story relating to Chinese trade matters late Thursday, denying the story, while
U.S. admin official Wilbur Ross noted that he still expects 25% tariffs to go
into play on China in January. This comes after RTRS reports pointed to U.S.
officials not expecting much in the way of concrete decisions at the upcoming
meeting between U.S. President Trump & his Chinese counterpart Xi.
- Elsewhere reports noted that North Korea has conducted a new secret missile
test.
- USD/JPY last 30 pips lower at lows of Y113.34. Bears need a break below the

open up yesterday's low at Y127.77.
