Federal Reserve Governor Jerome Powell speaks at 2030GMT

  • The topic is on the 'History and Structure of the Federal Reserve' ... so maybe we won't get anything on the economy nor policy .... but, there will be an audience Q&A following and no doubt we'll get a 'how many hikes?' and a 'when?' question amongst others

2350GMT - Japan - Retails sales data for February

  • expected +0.3% m/m, prior +0.2%
  • expected +0.7% y/y, prior +1.0%
  • Unlikely to be much of a forex mover unless it's a big surprise

Much later, 0500GMT - Japan Small business confidence for March. Again, unlikely to move the forex.
