Coming up - quite a bit!

2100 GMT - New Zealand - the ANZ Truckomoter for November

  • prior +2.9% m/m
  • this is a proxy for economic growth

2230 GMT - Australia - weekly consumer sentiment

  • prior 115.8

2350 GMT - Japan - producer Price Index for November

  • expected 3.3% y/y, prior 3.4%
  • expected 0.2% m/m, prior 0.3%

0030 GMT - Australia - National Australia Bank Business Survey for November

  • Conditions, prior 21
  • Confidence, prior 8
  • These are the two 'headlines' and there will be a focus on these today. Most interest this week though is on the employment data (due Thursday)

0030 GMT - Australia - House Price Index for Q3

  • expected 0.5% q/q, prior 1.9%
  • expected 8.8% y/y, prior 10.2%
  • This is from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Private sector house prices surveys show moderation, and some falls in Sydney, on monthly and weekly data - but these will not likely show up in third quarter numbers. The point about slowing or falling house prices is they may well be a negative factor on consumer confidence, at the least. Something to watch ahead.

0030 GMT - Australia - Credit card purchases and balances (October)

Later today, due at 0430 GMT from Japan - Tertiary Industry Index
