FOREX

  • USD/JPY has unwound its initial uptick, which roughly coincided with the release of Japan's flash Q1 GDP figures. The economy shrank by an annualised 1.0% Q/Q in the three months through end-March, while consensus forecast was looking for a 1.8% contraction.

  • Australian wage data and Japan's final industrial output will take focus during the remainder of the Asia-Pac session.
  • Inflation data from the EZ, UK and Canada will be published later in the day, on top of U.S. housing starts & building permits.
  • Comments from ECB's Muller and Fed's Harker are also on tap today.
