more to come
We had the Tokyo area CPI data for September ahead of this national data:
Japanese politics continues to drive movements in financial markets in Japan, along with global developments. While inflation in Japan remains above the BOJ target according the the measures we'll receive today, its only one input for the Bank of Japan right now.
Also on the agenda is a speech from Governor Michele Bullock. The Reserve Bank of Australia is on a restrained rate cut cycle. Next week's CPI release (29 October) will be key.
