DOLLAR-YEN: Opened in Asia at the upper side of the Y111.74 to Y112.64 range

data provide the event risks for the session ahead. Nikkei is expected to follow
the lead from Wall St and open higher, futures were last up 0.9%. In option
space, nearby expiries for today include; Y111.90(361mn), Y112.00($407mn),
Y112.65-70($943mn) and Y113.00($603mn). Resistance is located at Y112.74-79, the
level holds 55-dma and 50% fib retracement on the Y114.73-Y110.84 decline, while
