I posted the data agenda earlier but left out the Japanese data due today.

Its most often the case that Japanese data releases do not have much immediate impact on the yen rate in the spot market. It all goes into the mix though. The big event prior to the weekend was the confirmation that PM Abe would be stepping down. Yen strengthened. If you are bearish yen this provides a good opportunity to look at getting set. Bank of Japan policy is not going the change with the PM.
