Welcome again to the new FX week as Aisa begins, very slowly, to wind up for the day.

Here's the data that markets will be ignoring today :-D

2130GMT - New Zealand - Srevices PMI for fber, prior was 55.4

2350 - Japan - Machine orders

  • Industrial, manufacturing machinery new orders for January
  • For the m/m reading, expected is +1.9%, prior was +4.2%
  • For the y/y, expected is -3.8% and prior was -3.6%

0030GMT - Australia - Credit card purchases (prior was AUD27.6bn) and balances (prior AUD 52.1bn) for January

China's NPC continues today.

None of these is likely to move FX too much, the Japan data is the most focus.
