Friday brings a light calendar of economic data events, all the better to wait for the NFP in US time!
2230 GMT Australian construction PMI for June
Australian Industry Group Performance of Construction Index (PCI)
- prior 54.0
Earlier this week we got the other four (4!) PMIs from Australia:
- Australia AIG Manufacturing PMI: 57.4 (prior 57.5)
- Australia CBA Manufacturing PMI for June: 55 (prior was 53.2)
- Australian Industry Group Performance of Services Index up 4 points to a record high of 63.0

2330GMT Japan Overall Household Spending for May
- expected -1.5% y/y, prior -1.3%
I've seen expectations lower than this, citing new car sales down, department store sales fell, and household sentiment weak in the May Economy Watchers Survey.
Ummm …. Down, fell, weak …. good morning Japan!
