Those two will be the focus for the known unknowns here today.
From the top.
2245 GMT New Zealand April migration numbers
2245 GMT New Zealand Card Spending (a retails sales indicator) for May
- retail expected 0.5%, prior 0.6%
- total prior 0.4%
2325 GMT Reserve Bank of Australia's Christopher Kent, Assistant Governor (Financial Markets), speaking at the Australian Renminbi Forum 2019.
2330 GMT Australian weekly consumer confidence survey results. ANZ/Roy Morgan. A day late this week due to the holiday in Australia on Monday (June 10).
- prior 116.9
2350 GMT Japan PPI for May
- expected 0.7% y/y, prior 1.2%
- expected 0.0% m/m, prior 0.3%
Note, not CPI (where the BOJ target is 2% and it not even close).
2350 GMT Japan Core Machinery Orders (an indicator for capex in the months ahead) for April
- expected -0.8% m/m, prior 3.8%
- expected -5.3% y/y, prior -0.7%
0030 GMT Australia - monthly consumer confidence, Westpac survey for June
- Consumer Confidence Index prior +0.6% m/m to 101.3
0130 GMT China inflation data for May
- CPI expected 2.7% y/y, prior 2.5%
- PPI expected 0.6% y/y, prior 0.9%
Unless any of those above are a shock result, past market reactions to this set of indicators would suggest none of them are likely to move the forex too much upon release. Be interesting to hear what Kent has to say though.
