Coming up from Australia today, and both should have an impact on the AUD.
Having said that, AUD is being driven by offshore developments (a big Hi! to the yen), so maybe not.
9.30am local time, 2230GMT, RBA governor Glenn Stevens appears in parliament. I did a preview here.
0030GMT - Home Loans data for December, expected is +3.0%, prior was +1.8%
- Investment lending m/m, prior was 0.7%
- Owner-occupied loan value m/m, prior was 2.4%
-
Elsewhere, Japan at 2350GMT International Transactions in Securities data from Japan's Ministry of Finance. Japan was out for a holiday yesterday - but that didn't halt the flow of yen buying, nor of intervention efforts (still at a low level of intervention so far, verbal, rate checks ... Japanese authorities are trying to slow the pace of yen appreciation and remind the market of two-way risk, they aren't defending any levels as yet).
