Japan Opens Lower
Japan has opened lower to the tune of 0.7%.
Nikkei futures have been lower much of the day, as US equities broke an 8-day winning streak.
That being said, the only real show is Bernanke speaking on Wednesday about monetary policy.
It will be the Fed Chairman's final Humphrey-Hawkins testimony (the bi-annual testimony of the Fed chair to a committee from both houses) on the state of policy.
