There is not too much on the calendar to move the forex markets in Asia this Monday
Here is what is coming up:
2330GMT - Australia - 'Construction' sector PMI for July
- Australian Industry Group Performance of Construction Index, the third and final PMI from AiG for the month
- June was 56.0
Earlier in the month we got the manufacturing and services PMIs from the group:
- Australia -AIG Manufacturing PMI for July: 56.0 (prior was 55.0)
- Australia - Services PMI for July: 56.4 (prior 54.8)
2350GMT - Japan reserves assets for July
0130GMT - Australia - ANZ job advertisements for July
- For June, +2.7% m/m and +10.5% y/y
- 0200GMT - New Zealand - Treasury's Monthly Economic Indicators
- from the Forecasting and Monitoring team in the New Zealand Treasury
- This is a useful overview of NZ's economy
0300GMT - New Zealand again - Inflation Expectations data from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand out 1 year and 2 years
- RBNZ's 'Survey of expectations' for Q3
- This can be a market mover if expectations (particularly the 2 year) are far from the target range or far from previous readings; central banks want to keep inflation expectations 'anchored'

And, as a ps. - it's a bank holiday in Australia's major FX centre (Sydney) today, liquidity will thus be thinner than usual, at least until Tokyo Singapore and Hong Kong get active in coming hours.
