CANBERA (dpa-AFX) - Japan will release a batch of data on Tuesday, setting the pace for a modest day in Asia-Pacific economic activity. On tap are May figures for current account and June numbers for bank lending, bankruptcies and the eco watchers survey.
The current account is expected to reflect a surplus of 429.9 billion yen, up from the 187.4 billion yen surplus in April. Bank lending is expected to add .2 percent on year, slowing from 2.3 percent in May. Bankruptcies plunged 20.2 percent on year in May.
The eco watcher survey for current conditions is tipped to show a score of 48.9, up from 45.1 in May. The outlook survey is called at 54.5, up from 53.8.
Australia will see June results for the NAB survey of business confidence and conditions; in May, they saw scores of 7 and -1, respectively.
