Start of the week - here's what is coming up today from Asia

2145GMT - New Zealand - net migration for October. Its not going to be an immediate market mover.

2350GMT - Japan, October Machinery Orders - Speaking of market mover data, most of the time Japanese data doesn't have too much impact, though there can be a little. A beat on these, for example, should be net yen bullish. But if you are planning on watching a movie, or going for a nap or whatever, I wouldn't let waiting for this data point keep you from that.

  • expected +1.1% m/m, prior -3.3%
  • expected -4.9%, prior +4.3%
  • Data announced by the Cabinet Office. Its for private sector machinery orders excluding volatile ship and power equipment. The data is indicative of capex 6 to 9 months in advance.
  • Later today (0600GMT) we'll get a similar sounding but different data point, Machine Tool Orders (preliminary, for November). This later data is from the Japan Machine Tool Builders' Association

0001GMT - UK data - Rightmove House Prices for December.

0030GMT - Australia - Credit card purchases and balances for October

0430GMT - Japan - Tertiary Industry index for October
