BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda speaks at 06:35 UTC β the only high-impact entry on today’s calendar and the session’s main reference point for the yen. A second-tier Canadian release follows later in the day.
BOJ’s Ueda Speaks (06:35 UTC, JPY)
The day’s top-billed event is a scheduled appearance by Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda at 06:35 UTC. There is no forecast or previous figure to anchor against β it is a speech, not a data print β but the yen tends to be sensitive to any remarks that touch on the policy path, the balance-sheet stance, or the central bank’s read on inflation.
With no numbers to compare, the market reaction hangs on tone and wording rather than a beat-or-miss. That makes it the clearest JPY catalyst of the next 24 hours.
Canada’s Ivey PMI (14:00 UTC, CAD)
The medium-impact event comes at 14:00 UTC with Canada’s Ivey PMI, a purchasing-managers survey tracking the month-over-month change in business activity. A reading above 50 points to expansion; below 50 signals contraction.
The print is seen at 65.2, up from the prior 64.3 β pointing to a modest acceleration if the forecast is met. It is the session’s main scheduled input for the Canadian dollar.
The Day’s Shape
Ueda’s 06:35 UTC remarks are the earliest and highest-impact item on the slate, so the yen carries the morning. The Ivey PMI is the only other dated release and lands mid-afternoon UTC, leaving CAD as the back half of the session’s calendar.
