A slight bounce for the Nikkei as the November gains consolidate further
Asian equities are faring better on the new day, with the Hang Seng seen up 0.5% and the Shanghai Composite up 0.3% going into the closing stages as well.
Of note, equities are off earlier lows in the session with S&P 500 futures also seen down just 0.1% now as we look towards European morning trade.
For the Nikkei, price action is pretty much consolidating into the year-end following the November gains and that should stay the course as we approach the holidays.
