Key takeaways
  • Asian markets eased as investors took profits, while mixed regional data and a stronger yen added to a cautious tone.
  • Nikkei gives back part of yesterday’s gains, falling 1.2%. The move likely reflects profit-taking after a strong rebound in the previous session.

  • The yen continues to strengthen against the dollar, gaining 0.2% today.

  • U.S. trade balance data was scheduled for release today, but it will not be published due to the ongoing government shutdown.
