Australia Data On Tap For Thursday

(RTTNews) - Australia will on Thursday release January trade data and retail sales numbers, highlighting an otherwise light day for Asia-Pacific economic activity.

Retail sales are expected to add a seasonally adjusted 0.4 percent on month after rising 0.5 percent in December. The trade balance is tipped to reflect a surplus of A$100 million after coming in at A$468 million in the previous month.
