Japan Q2 GDP +0.8% q/q, annualized +3.1%
The Q2 Japan GDP has returned to expansion after two dismay quarters, led by a rebound in private consumption and capital expenditure. It would be welcoming for the BoJ as they are tilting towards a hawkish side in terms of forward guidance and policy step.
USD/JPY is trading unchanged with JGB outperforming U.S. Treasury in yields.
