In the US, elevated mortgage rates and high home prices began to show their effects in April as new home sales dropped to a 634,000 annualized pace from a sharply downward revised 665,000 in March. May's consensus is a rise back to 650,000.

Japanese retail sales are forecast to have risen 2.0 percent on the year in May for a 27th straight increase, backed by solid department store sales and a smaller drop in automobiles, following an above-forecast 2.0 percent rise (revised down from an initial 2.4 percent gain) in April, which was led by strong demand for air conditioners amid high temperatures.
