Japan is scheduled to release a raft of data on Monday, highlighting a light day for Asia-Pacific economic activity. On tap are May figures for current account, as well as June numbers for bank lending, bankruptcies and the eco watchers survey.
The current account is expected to reflect a surplus of 600.0 billion yen, down from the 750.0 billion yen surplus in April. Bank lending in May was up 2.1 percent on year, while lending including trusts added an annual 1.8 percent. Bankruptcies were down 9.0 percent on year in May, while the eco watchers outlook survey saw a score of 56.2 and the current survey came in at 55.7.
Australia will see the June results of the job advertisement survey from ANZ Bank; in May, job ads dipped 2.4 percent on month.
