Economic & event calendar in Asia, May 1, 2026 - Japan (tokyo) inflation, China holiday

The piece is an Asian economic calendar for May 1, 2026, noting a China five-day holiday (markets return May 6) and the release of Tokyo-area CPI for April. The market implication is focused on the yen: Tokyo CPI data could influence USD/JPY after recent FX intervention that pushed the pair down from the 160 area. With China on holiday, Asian market liquidity and risk sentiment may be muted, leaving yen moves and intervention aftershocks as the primary drivers for FX activity in the session.
