We get Fed speaker today during the Asian timezone, I wonder if he will elaborate on the FOMC minutes? (But we may never know ... read on)
For the chronologically minded ...
2200GMT - New Zealand - Government financial statements ... more from the rock stars
2240GMT - Australia - Reserve Bank of Australia - Speech by Guy Debelle, Deputy Governor
- Title is Recent Trends in Australian Capital Flows
- Debelle speaking at the 2017 Australian Financial Review Banking and Wealth Summit in Sydney
2350GMT - Japan - International Securities Flows for the week ended March 31
0000GMT - Federal Reserve Bank of New York Executive Vice President Simon Potter
- His speech is titled "Money Markets at a Crossroads: Policy Implementation at a Time of Structural Change"
- Speaking in Los Angeles, at UCLA
- The text of his speech is expected, but as for any economy/policy pertinent Q&A, ... the event is closed to media, so we could well remain in the dark
0145GMT - China - Caixin services and composite PMIs for March
- prior was 52.6 for both
0500GMT - Japan - March consumer confidence index
- expected 43.4, prior 43.1
What we really need in Asia is something like the FOMC minutes to drive some movement .... so nice to see political gasbags taking a back seat for a change. I guess central bank speak is the closest we now get to fundamentals :-D
