Tokyo's main index closes lower amid softer risk mood
It's still all about trade tensions in the equities market as that is weighing on sentiment as the fear now is that this will impact the US economy and result in further global growth slowdown. As such, Asian equities aren't spared on the day with Japanese stocks declining alongside the rest of the region.
That said, Treasuries are looking more calm to begin the week with yields a tad higher - not by much though - across the curve and that's still keeping currencies guessing for the time being. USD/JPY holds at 108.23, just a little lower on the day after having touched lows of 108.07 earlier in the session as the dollar also remains on the weaker side.
