Headline to the post says it all .... almost
Japan is back today after holidays on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
Singapore is out for a holiday today
NZ trade balance data due at 2245GMT
Japan manufacturing PMI due at 0135GMT. This is the preliminary ('flash') reading for September
- expected is 51.2, prior was 51.7. The PMI measure has been encouraging, but other data not so much for Japan. A disappointment here today will add fuel to calls for more action from the BOJ. They are pretty overworked there at present!
