* October private sector credit and housing credit also due. Private sector credit forecast to have grown 0.2 percent as an improving local economic outlook support spending among firms and individuals.
* Local bond futures indicated lower ahead of the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) monthly policy meeting on Tuesday, and bucking gains in U.S. Treasuries.
* Three-year bond futures indicated down 0.02 points at 95.30, and the ten-year contract indicated 0.04 points down at 94.75.
