The reading is a survey on workers to measure up consumer spending and current economic conditions. A slight downtick relative to that seen in August for both current conditions and the outlook readings. Not a major release by any means though.
USD/JPY is on the weaker side as the dollar is on the back foot ahead of European trading, now at 113.07.
