Later in the session, just as Europe and the UK is getting more active for the morning, we’re gonna hear from Bank of Japan (BOJ) Governor Kuroda, speaking at the annual meeting of the National Association of Shinkin Banks, held in Tokyo.

Bloomberg have it on the calendar at 0636GMT. Precision timing, that one.

Make sure you tune in for that, and learn why Kuroda is Mike’s favourite central banker!

ps. Shinkin banks are cooperative regional financial institutions serving smaller businesses usually in the local area.
