Investors are waiting for data from the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) due tomorrow.

The yen fell against the greenback after rising earlier in the session. The yen was weighed by data on the country's GDP, which showed a 0.2% contraction in the third quarter vs -0.1% expected. The annualized reading came in at -0.8%, while economists had expected a more modest 0.2% drop. The GDP declined amid negative trends in China's economy and weak demand from overseas. Nevertheless domestic consumer demand, which accounts for 60% of GDP, rose by 0.5% in the third quarter. Citing the increase Minister in charge of Economic Revitalization Akira Amari said he expects an increase in GDP in the fourth quarter. However many economists started saying that weak data might persuade the central bank of Japan to take aditional steps to stimulate the economy.
