Nikkei at even after Abe win

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The Nikkei index opened today in Tokyo around the 14750 level after the Japan upper house victory for PM Abe, but soon eased to current quotes shy of the 14600 mark, dragged lower on Yen strength, forcing the index to break even by now.

Local share markets in the Asia-Pacific are in the green overall, but in a very light way, with the Korean Kospi and Australian ASX both leading the way higher up about +0.70%, while the Hong-Kong's Hang-Seng and Nikkei index are both at break even, and the Shanghai Composite index is slightly in the negative, down -0.07%.
