Not a lot on the economic calendar to round out the week, but we should get some more data from China, yesterday's was a bit disappointing:
- China (August) Industrial Production: 6.0% y/y (expected 6.6%)
- China - August data for Retail Sales 10.1% y/y (expected 10.5%) + investment data
OK, from the top
2100 GMT New Zealand REINZ house sales data for August
- prior -24.5%
- The election is coming up in NZ (September 23), I reckon not to worry about it too much (New Zealand election September 23 - here's the bottom line) but given the behaviour of the NZD no-one cares what I reckon :-D Keep watching those polls!
2230 GMT - New Zealand - BNZ/BusinessNZ Manufacturing PMI for August
- prior was a fall of 2 points to 55.4
0110 GMT - Bank of Japan JGB purchases
- in the 5 to 10 year maturity window today
