The new week front-loads its event risk. Late Sunday UTC brings a China data dump: Q3 GDP (forecast around 4.3% y/y against 4.4% prior), industrial production, retail sales, fixed-asset investment and the unemployment rate, plus an NBS press conference. AUD and NZD are the usual conduits for China surprises.
Earlier in the Asian session, New Zealand trade balance and BusinessNZ services, the UK Rightmove house-price index and a speech from RBA Assistant Governor Kent dot the calendar, while IMF meetings continue in the background.
With USD still digesting last week's hot CPI print, Monday's China numbers set the tone for risk appetite into the week.
