If you were/are celebrating July 4 I hope it was a good one!
For July 5 here, a light session coming up for data. But it'll all be made up for by the NFP Friday morning US time.
NFP? Yep, incoming! A few previews:
- US nonfarm payroll due Friday - preview

OK, back to the Asian session for Friday:
2230 GMT the last of the Australian PMIs for June

2330 GMT Japan Household Spending for May

2350 GMT Japan - official reserve assets for June
Neither of those are likely to move the yen to a great extent upon release.
