If you'd like to sneak a few more hours of weekend the economic calendar might well be the excuse you need (if you need one, that is)

It's a light one

2350 GMT - Japan - Retail sales data for September

  • expected +0.8% m/m, prior -1.7%
  • and for the y/y, expected +2.3%, prior +1.8%

0110 GMT - Bank of Japan JGB purchases

  • in the 1 to 3 year and 3 to 5 year maturity windows

And, as a BTW, the BOJ meet today and tomorrow
