Forex news for Asia trading Tuesday 2 May 2017
– Japan’s Monetary Base (April) 19.8% vs. 21.2% forecast
ICYMI:
We got a stack of manufacturing PMIs from Asia today (following the weaker official China manufacturing PMIs over the weekend). In general, results were weaker (see bullets above for more detail). Despite the weaker data though, Asian stocks were overall resilient, and metals were generally higher also.
