Good day one and all
I trust you had a great, or at least peaceful, week-end
It’s been a quiet start to the week in Asia, apart from a Nikkei-led move higher in USDJPY and one glance at the orderboard tells us that we won’t be looking at that for inspiration today
But hopefully we’ll get something to kick-start us into action, altough after the fun and games of last week and vacation conditions still prevailing we shouldn’t get too excited.
Eamonn says we do have some data at 05.00GMT, final figures from Japan for the June leading index (107.0 prior) and coincident index (prior 105.2) but not a game changer, and I can’t see it on my schedules anywhere.
As ever though we’ll be looking to do what we can to help make/save you a few pips as the day unfolds
Have a good week everyone
