Morning Bid: Yen wary of holiday calm as Q1 curtain falls

Markets in Asia on Friday will be quieter and probably more range-bound than usual with most of the rest of the world closed for Good Friday, but there is always the chance of outsized moves when liquidity is so thin.

In Asia on Friday, investors face a batch of Japanese indicators including unemployment, retail sales, industrial production and Tokyo inflation. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Thursday waded in to the debate:"We will monitor currency moves with a high sense of urgency and respond appropriately without ruling out any options to deal with excessive currency moves."

Chinese stocks, meanwhile, will be looking just to close the month in the green. They jumped on Thursday after the South China Morning Post reported that President Xi Jinping has urged the central bank to buy government bonds as part of a broader stimulus push.
