On the calendar for today during Asia forex, nothing that is likely to move around currencies too much:
2100GMT - New Zealand - REINZ house sales data for April
2230GMT - New Zealand - BusinessNZ Manufacturing PMI for April
- prior 57.8
- This indicator is showing stonking performance, and sub-indices like production (60.4 in March) & new orders (64.3) ... that's huge, new orders at its highest level since June 2004
- And, looking ahead ... the RBNZ were at great pains yesterday to tell us they are 'neutral', when a lot though they might shift to a tightening bias ... so more to come for the manufacturing PMI
2350GMT - Japan - money stock for April.
0130GMT - Australia - Credit Card purchases and balances.
- For March
- Purchases prior AUD 24.6bn, balance prior AUD52.6bn
0415GMT - Japan - Bank of Japan policy board member Harada will be speaking as a panellist, with likely monetary policy remarks. Though I suspect nothing off script.
