Nikkei futures slightly positive. We are watching currencies and other bonds as well. We are looking of course at the dollar which is holding pretty steady after we saw some strength in the u. S. Session. Chinese 10 year yields, yields actually falling lower by two basis points. Offshore room and be back above 710, 702.
