The Australian economy is expected to have added 25,200 jobs last month following the addition of 47,500 jobs in August. The jobless rate (4.2 percent) and the participation rate (67.1 percent) are both seen steady.

Japan will provide September numbers for imports, exports and trade balance. Imports are expected to rose 3.2 percent on year after adding 2.3 percent in August. Exports are called higher by an annual 0.5 percent, slowing from 5.6 percent in the previous month.
