Dow Jones

Feb 09

2326 GMT - Nikkei futures are up 3.8% in response to the emphatic LDP election win in Japan on Sunday. Meanwhile, the yen is very skittish with USD/JPY briefly dipping under 157.00 but now back to 157.60. Japan's Finance Minister Katayama will no doubt try to jawbone the FX market in order to keep a floor under yen, says Sean Callow, FX analyst at ITC Markets. (james.glynn@wsj.com; X @JamesGlynnWSJ)
