Fundamental view
New Zealand
At 22:45 GMT Statistics New Zealand is to report on the number of building approvals for new projects in construction during June. In May compared to April building permits, issued by the government, were 4.6% less. Building approvals are considered as a leading fundamental indicator, as they provide information regarding demand in New Zealand’s housing sector. A higher than anticipated number would have a bullish effect on the national currency.
Japan
Japans annualized industrial production probably expanded 5.2% in June, according to the median forecast by experts, following a 1.0% increase in the prior month. In monthly terms, nation’s industrial production index probably dropped 1.2% in June. The index reflects the change in overall inflation-adjusted value of output in sectors such as manufacturing, mining and utilities. It is based on the Current Survey of Production, which encompasses 530 different industrial goods. In case industrial output expanded more than anticipated, this would provide a boost to yens demand. The official report is to be released at 23:50 GMT.
