A few items of interest in the way of economic data due from Japan today.
Eco data from Japan often has little immediate impact on the yen, and I don’t expect today’s will be any different. What seems to me much more significant is the change in rhetoric out of Tokyo in the past week or so … there has been a LOT more chatter of further BOJ easing actions. Abe, Abe’s advisers and others have all been at it. The next Bank of Japan meeting is on October 6 and 7, so something on the radar for next week. Time to study up on the for USD/JPY?
