The soggy start to 2016 continues

Currently 18402.76, -3.31% as we head into the close as China's equity markets tumble further down 7% and now with trading halted for the remainder of the day

USDJPY dragged down again by the Nikkei's tumble and safe-haven yen demand. Currently 119.34 though as Nikkei picks up a few buyers in latest dip

Some support expected into 119.20 then more at 119.00-05
