Good morning traders!

A bit of a mixed bag in Asia this morning but trading is generally very quiet. At 6:00am, the Hang Seng was down 5.87 points at 13,928.89 with the Nikkei up 44.06 points at 11,348.29.

Oil prices eased 39 cents to $53.15 as hurricane warnings were downgraded and ahead of expectations of an output increase announcement from OPEC on Wednesday.

Off to find some UK news.....

Happy trading!

The only thing missing today was punters. Some nice movement on modest volumes. See if it hardens tomorrow. :-)

Took my profit on MJW tonight, expecting a drop in the morning. This is a great predictable share. Gets me back on track every time it reports... ;-)

See you in the morning.
