After RBA minutes eyes on key Aussie Q2 CPI - BNZ
FXStreet (Guatemala) - Analysts at BNZ explained that it’s an inflation-focused week in Australia with the release of the Q2 CPI report.
Key Quotes:
"The CPI always plays a part in economic scene-setting for the RBA, though this quarter’s result is unlikely to swing the RBA into policy action in August."
"Australian June quarter CPI is expected to reflect a picture of generally subdued price pressures, though the reversal of recent declines in petrol prices will see a high headline inflation rate for Q2 that’s expected to increase 0.8 q/q, taking annual inflation to 1.7%. "
"Underlying inflation is forecast at 0.6% q/q, with an annual rate of 2.3%. These are subdued annual readings indicating little inflationary pressures with headline inflation below and underlying inflation towards the lower end of the RBA’s target band of 2-3%."
