New Zealand Economy Grows 0.3% In Q1 :
New Zealand's gross domestic product expanded 0.3 percent in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the previous three months, Statistics New Zealand said on Thursday.
That was shy of forecasts for an increase of 0.5 percent following the 1.5 percent gain in the fourth quarter of 2012.
"The Canterbury rebuild boosted activity for construction and related services," GDP project manager Jason Attewell said. "The rest of the economy was a mixed bag, but we are coming off very strong growth in the previous quarter."

So, just read this small article about Trading the Canada Consumer Price Report :
The headline reading for Canadian inflation is expected to increase an annualized 0.9% in May, and the faster rate of price growth may prop up the loonie should the data renew speculation for higher borrowing costs. However, we may see Bank of Canada (BoC) Governor Stephen Poloz retain a wait-and-see approach in the second-half of the year amid the slowing recovery, and the central bank adopt a more neutral tone in the coming months in an effort to further strengthen the real economy.
As Canadian price growth is expected to pick up in May, we may see the USDCAD continue to come off of trendline resistance, and the wedge/triangle formation may continue to take shape in the second-half of the year as the BoC retains a neutral stance for monetary policy. However, should the inflation report disappoint, we may see the upward trending channel from earlier this year foster a bullish breakout in the exchange rate, and the pair may continue to track higher over the coming months amid the deviation in the policy outlook.
Just to read something during the weekend - The Week Ahead: Will July Be Better For Stocks?
June so far has been a tough month for stocks. The S&P is down around 2.5%, although it was able to close the week above the lows.

Forbes : Obama: 'Thanks Ben, But Time To Go' (And Other Quotes Of The Week)
Obama strongly suggested “he would not renominate Bernanke” in a PBS Charlie Rose interview which aired Monday (LA Times): "I think Ben Bernanke’s done an outstanding job. Ben Bernanke’s a little bit like Bob Mueller, the head of the FBI, where he’s already stayed a lot longer than he wanted or he was supposed to."
Then there was the Fed statement and press conference on Wednesday, where interpretations of Bernanke’s “tapering remarks” were all over the lot but the market’s reaction was far from unclear, triggering the biggest two-day selloff of the year.
Goldman Sachs’ economists noted “the shock and surprise” in the Fed statement (CNBC) : "The FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) was more hawkish than we had expected,’ wrote Goldman Sachs economists Jan Hatzius and Sven Jari Stehn. ‘Our takeaway is that the risk to our forecast of quantitative easing tapering starting in December has increased."
TD Securities rates analyst Gennadiy Goldberg referred to the markets’ overreaction, according to the NY Times, saying, “As soon as you give the market anything to chew on, they are going to tear the limb off.”
“As I’ve said, Angela and I don’t exactly look like previous German and American leaders.” –President Obama in his speech this week in Berlin at the Brandenburg Gate, referring to Chancellor Merkel. Some cynics accused the President of trying to escape domestic controversy through his the trip to Europe, as has been a trick of many Presidents of the past. But most criticism focused on “warmed-over citizen-of-the-world rhetoric, poorly delivered,” (Commentary Magazine) and Obama’s unfulfilled “potential” since his historic and rousing Berlin speech of 2008, as Yahoo noted in part: "The power of Obama’s biography has dimmed in the shadow of controversy…’I still have time to fulfill my promises,’ he seemed to be saying. ‘The ones I haven’t kept, they aren’t broken, just deferred."
