There hasn't been a huge amount of action in Asia today

Japan is back from holiday for the first day since the year began. New Zealand also.

On markets ... its all a bit ho-hum so far.

I expect we'll get some CNH borrowing stress in HK today. Whether that'll translate to major FX moves though, dunno.

USD/JPY the best mover, up through 118 now, the Nikkei higher also (up 2%)
