Important to note here that, major stocks and Forex markets are highly affected by the U.S. job results released on last Friday. U.S NFP job data fell to 38K m/m vs 123K m/m previous release and unemployment rate fell to 4.7% m/m vs 5.0% previous release. As a result, U.S. dollar was depreciated against major peers. On the other side, USD/JPY stabilises around fresh -5 week low after NFP job results.

Japan’s Nikkei N225 was trading 0.68% lower at 16,530.53 points in Tokyo.
