Japan's Nikkei 225 Index dropped 0.3% by 8:30 GMT + 2, despite positive news about the start of vaccination against COVID-19 in the country with Pfizer / BionTech.

Exports of Japan in January increased by 6.4% compared to the same month last year - up to 5.78 trillion yen. The rise was noted for the second month in a row after 24 months of continuous decline (the longest such period since 1979). Experts predicted an average growth of 6.6%.

The rise was primarily due to an increase in demand for Japanese products from China. Exports from Japan to the PRC jumped 37.5% last month.

BHP announced a day earlier that in the first financial half, which ended December 31, 2020, EBITDA increased by 21% compared to the same period a year earlier and reached $ 14.68 billion. The company's net profit decreased by 20% - to $ 3. 88 billion (includes $ 2.2 billion in emergency losses).
