Y112.51-63
*Eur-Jpy: Dec18 close Y132.58, Dec19 Asia range Y132.59-84, Europe
Y132.70-133.05
*Usd/Jpy opened in Asia toward the middle of yesterday's Y112.31-83 range where
firmer equities somewhat negated a slightly softer dollar 
*As the narrow range would suggest, it was a dull affair during the Asia-Pacific
session, investors remained cautious ahead of the US tax vote, leaving the
dollar broadly unchanged from Monday's close in New York
*The quiet theme spilled over into Europe, reported bids ahead of Y112.50
cushioned as the pair held near the peak of its Y112.51-63 morning range
*The euro opened on a bid tone across the board, rate moved through the Asia
high, extended to Y133.05 before fading
*Pullback off the high touched Y132.88 after the release of soft German IFO
Business Climate data, stronger Current Assessment briefly supported before
second wave sales pressed to Y132.79.
