Economic calendar in Asia Monday, October 14, 2024: Japan mkts closed, RBNZ Gov Orr speech

You’ll see at the top of the screenshot the data from China over the weekend, the country is barely keeping out of consumer price deflation:

• China September CPI rate fell below August and below expectations. PPI slumped further.

The ‘stimulus’ press conference on Saturday was another disappointment:

• China offers few details on stimulus in Saturday’s press conference

There is another China press conference scheduled for today, once again don’t get your hopes up:

• briefing on Monday from China’s Infrastructure Ministry, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and State Administration for Market Regulation. At 10 am Beijing time (0200 GMT, 2200 US Eastern time)

Also today we have a speech imminent from RBNZ Governor Orr (Sunday 13 October 2024 at 2015 GMT, 1615 US Eastern time):

• Governor Adrian Orr will speak about improving Māori access to capital
