Economic data due during the Asian timezone ... a very light session

Not a lot on the economic data agenda today from the Asian timezone.

As a quick heads up, first thing is we get an RBA speaker ... At 8.30am local Sydney time (2130GMT), RBA Assistant Governor (Economic) Christopher Kent, is speaking at UBS's Australasia Conference 2015

2230GMT - Australia - ANZ weekly consumer sentiment figures, which have been on a tear in recent weeks. Not generally an immediate FX market mover.

• prior was 116.6

2350GMT - Japan - Housing loans for Q3, prior was +2.4%. Also not generally an immediate FX market mover.

0030GMT - RBA November meeting Minutes

0200GMT - New Zealand - 2yr inflation expectations data from the BNZ. For Q4, prior was 1.94%. Inflation is low in NZ and looks like it will stay that way.
