CANBERA (dpa-AFX) - The Bank of Japan will on Monday release its quarterly Tankan Survey of business sentiment, highlighting a modest day for Asia-Pacific economic activity.
The large manufacturers' index is expected to slip to 11 in Q4 from 12 in the third quarter, while the outlook is expected to rise to 11 from 10.
The large non-manufacturing index is expected to slip to 23 from 25, while the outlook is tipped to rise to 22 from 19. Large all-industry capex is now seen higher by 10.1 percent, slowing from 10.9 percent in Q3.
Japan also will see final October figures for industrial production. Little change is expected from last month's preliminary reading that suggested an increase of 1.4 percent on month and a decline of 1.4 percent on year. Output was up 1.1 percent on month and down 0.8 percent on year in September.
Finally, Japan will see October data for its tertiary industry index; in September, the index slipped 0.4 percent on month.
Australia will see October figures for credit card purchases and balances; in September, purchases were worth A$24.8 billion and balances were at A$50.8 billion.
