Welcome aboard to the new week once again.

At 2350GMT from Japan

  • BoP Current Account Balance for February, expected ¥ 2633.5B, prior ¥ 600.4B
  • BoP Current Account Adjusted: expected ¥ 1920.9B, prior ¥ 1833.0B
  • Trade Balance BoP Basis: expected ¥ 591.3B, prior ¥ -964.8B

0030 GMT - Bank of Japan Governor Kuroda speaking at a BOJ branch managers' meeting

0110 GMT - BOJ buying JGBS with 10-25, 25+ years until maturity

0130GMT - Australia - ANZ's survey of job vacancies, for March, prior -0.9% m/m

Out of that lot perhaps Kuroda has most scope to give forex a nudge, although his comments will only be brief and likely unchanged from recent, so any FX move will be small, if at all. ANZ job ads (Australia) will be worth an eye. Official labour market data has been, and is, strong. It is expected to slow by many, indicators susch as this one from ANZ will give an early heads up if so.
