Continuing the spate of better-than-expected data retail sales for May rose 3.1% compared to 2.7% expected. Elsewhere there were reports that Japan will extend state of emergency declarations to Osaka, Saitama, Chiba and Kanagawa today.
  • Offshore yuan is slightly weaker but holding the majority of Thursday's gains. USD/CNH is up 22 pips but hovering around the lowest levels since July 15. Markets will watch the PBOC OMO's today and await official PMI figures over the weekend.
