China September industrial profits jump 14.4% y/y, rebounding from 4.2% in August
USDAUDCNY
The rebound offers a modest positive surprise for Chinese assets at a time when sentiment is fragile, with onshore equities in a bear market and Morgan Stanley warning of further downside in offshore shares. Industrial and materials stocks are the most direct beneficiaries, and the data may slightly ease concerns about a sharp earnings slowdown.

Japan September services PPI holds at 3.7% y/y, in line with forecast, before BoJ
USDJPY
An in-line print is unlikely to move the yen much on its own, but it removes one possible dovish surprise before Friday’s decision and keeps the backdrop supportive of December hike pricing.

Greer warns $3.4 billion EU loan to Airbus may breach US-EU aircraft trade truce Alt headlines:
USDCAD
This is a warning shot rather than an escalation, so the immediate market impact is likely confined to aerospace names, with Airbus and Boeing shares the most exposed to any shift in trade rhetoric.

Australia CPI preview: banks see 1.0% core rise, above the RBA’s 0.8% forecast
USDAUD
The Australian dollar and front-end yields are set up for a binary reaction. With implied hike odds already above half, a trimmed mean at or above 1.0% would push November pricing closer to fully priced and support the currency.

Goldman Sachs: AI buildout to add up to 50bp to US core PCE, but the boost is temporary
USDEURGBPJPYAUD
The analysis adds a structural layer to an inflation backdrop already strained by energy, which argues against easing and supports the case for central banks on tightening paths, including the Fed and the Bank of Japan, to keep a hawkish bias into 2027.

Carney says Canada has not budged as US trade deal looks less imminent than claimed
USDCAD
The Canadian dollar had some deal optimism built in after the weekend remarks from Washington, so Carney’s comments and the Semafor report remove part of that support and leave USD/CAD sensitive to further trade headlines.

Japan services PPI preview: 3.7% pace in focus ahead of Friday’s BoJ decision
USDJPY
The services PPI is rarely a big mover for the yen on its own, but a reading at or above 3.7% would reinforce December hike pricing and lend modest support to the yen and short-dated JGB yields into Friday.

False reports of 'a Canada-USA trade deal' aren't far off from the number of reports about 'peace in Hormuz' so I would take this one with a grain of salt. There has been some noise over the weekend about new trade negotiations led by Lutnick.
