[MARKET UPDATE] JGBs gapped 14 ticks lower on the re-open from lunch but has since filled the gap; Nikkei 225 continues to fall, nearing 60k; USD/JPY fell from 159.49 to a trough of 158.99 but has regained 159 handle

The gap down in JGBs indicates initial weakness in the bond market, possibly linked to broader market sentiment or adjustments in expectations regarding Bank of Japan policies. The Nikkei's decline toward 60k combined with fluctuations in USD/JPY suggests ongoing volatility, which may be reflective of investor uncertainty or risk-off positioning in the Asian session.
