[CALENDAR ADDITION] New BoJ board member Asada will hold inaugural press conference today at 09:00BST/04:00EDT

The inaugural press conference of new BoJ board member Asada could provide insights into potential shifts in Japanese monetary policy, especially given the current market focus on global interest rates. Traders will be looking for any hawkish or dovish signals that might influence the JPY and have spillover effects on fixed income and commodities, particularly gold. Given the importance of central bank guidance, this event is likely to be closely monitored for clues on the future rate path.
