Not (insert curse word here) much.
At 0030GMT Australia – Minutes of February 2014 Monetary Policy Meeting of the Reserve Bank Board
At 0200GMT China – Foreign Direct Investment for January, y/y, expected is 2.5%, prior was 3.3%
At some time today the Bank of Japan (BOJ) completes their two-day policy board meeting and announces any policy change decision. There is no scheduled time, but its likely in the 0300-0500 GMT window. I did a bit or a preview yesterday (Bank of Japan meets 17th and 18th February – no change of policy expected, but what will Kuroda say?), but after yesterday’s poor Q4 GDP result (here and here) I might have to rethink. Hmmmm.
During the European morning Bank of Japan (BOJ) Governor Kuroda will give his post-match interview post meeting press conference. due at 0630GMT. Just prior, at 0600GMT we get the final (preliminary is here) Machine Tool Orders data from Japan for January. Mike will be on the edge of his seat and amped up on coffee for these.
