TOKYO: A slate of Japanese and US data will be among the key trading cues for Tokyo investors next week, after G20 finance chiefs wrap up a meeting in Shanghai at weekend.
Factory output and Japan's latest jobless data will offer key clues about the state of the world's number three economy, after weak inflation figures on Friday stirred speculation the Bank of Japan will have to unleash more monetary easing to boost growth.
"The coming week will see the usual end-month data rush," research house Capital Economics said in a commentary.
"The labour market data should be encouraging...(but) admittedly, the tighter labour market has yet to result in a marked pick-up in wage growth."
Investors will also be keeping tabs on US jobless claims and non-farm payrolls, as fears about the world economy top the agenda at the two-day G20 meeting, which ends Saturday.
