The only major Asian market trading today ‘Japanese stock exchange’ ended in red on Tuesday, after a Bank of Japan (BoJ) official said the yen could jump to 95 per US dollar in the first half of the year and the central bank is running short on ammunition. However, the downside remained limited after a survey showed the services sector in Japan expanded at a stronger pace in December. Most of the regional markets were closed for the Lunar New Year, including South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, China, Hong Kong and Indonesia.
