Stocks are higher in Asia today as the USD takes a break following the less than exciting NFP print on Friday, where even a stronger Yen can’t derail Japanese stocks. The Nikkei lead Asia, catching up to its futures, up 0.66% and building on its previous breakout.
Chinese stocks are mixed with the Hang Seng soaring nearly 2% as the Shanghai Composite is floating along up only 4 points going into the close. Eurostoxx futures are are 0.4% going into the London session.
