The Bank of Japan is scheduled to wrap up its monetary policy meeting on Friday and then announce its decision on interest rates, setting the pace for a light day in Asia-Pacific economic activity.
The central bank is widely expected to keep its benchmark lending rate steady at -0.1 percent.
Japan also will see May figures for consumer prices; in April, overall inflation was down 0.4 percent both on month and on year, while core CPI was down 0.1 percent on year.
