This is the backdrop to Friday's open in Asia, where Japanese economic data, bonds, and currency will again be under intense scrutiny ahead of next week's Bank of Japan policy meeting. The main data release in Asia on Friday will be consumer price inflation in Tokyo for September. In China, meanwhile, industrial sector profit figures for the first nine months of the year are on the docket Friday.

Dollar dips as job openings fall, Fed meeting in focus
  + stars: | 2023-05-02 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
The dollar fell Tuesday after data showed that U.S. job openings fell in March, a day before the Federal Reserve is expected to hike interest rates by an additional 25 basis points. The dollar index fell 0.22% to 101.93 after earlier reaching 102.40, the highest since April 11. The single currency has risen since mid-March on expectations that the interest rate differential with the U.S. dollar will continue to shrink. The Aussie dollar rose 0.51% to $0.6664, after earlier getting to $0.6717, the highest since April 21. The dollar fell 0.56% to 136.67 yen, after earlier hitting 137.78, the highest since March 8.
LONDON, Jan 12 (Reuters) - The yen got a boost on Thursday on expectations the Bank of Japan will review the side effects of its monetary easing, while the dollar held near a seven-month low against the euro ahead of U.S. inflation data later in the day. "You could start to see the normalisation of monetary policy which would be a huge step for Japan (and) a very positive tailwind for the yen," Turner added. The U.S. dollar index was last down 0.06% to 103.04, not far off its seven-month low of 102.93 hit earlier in the week. "Our core views for Fed policy versus ECB policy would be for a stronger euro-dollar through the year." Data released on Thursday showed Australia's trade surplus unexpectedly widened in November and came in well above forecasts.
Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey has reiterated his commitment to reining in inflation, but the Bank faces a difficult balancing act as growth slows and the labor market tightens. On Tuesday, Sweden's Riksbank hiked interest rates by 100 basis points, warning that inflation was "undermining households' purchasing power." The U.S. Federal Reserve is expected on Wednesday to lift its benchmark borrowing rate by 75 basis points, the third consecutive hike of that magnitude. Meanwhile the European Central Bank earlier this month announced a 75 basis point increase to its benchmark deposit rate. It would really be quite a tone deaf performance from the Bank of England if they don't go for 75 basis points at this week's meeting."
