Weekahead - FX/debt markets await June-quarter current a/c data

Reuters Market Eye - The government will release June quarter current account, balance of payments data on Monday, which will be watched for signs to see whether the government will manage to keep its full year fiscal deficit within $70 billion as it estimates.

The government will also release fiscal deficit data for April to August, with 62.8 percent of the full-year budgeted deficit already reached in the first four months.
