This week isn't about growth.
It's about whether inflation data across US CPI, PPI, and consumer expectations continues to support the current policy path, while the RBA delivers its own rate decision.
(Forecasts vs previous data below, actuals will drive the move)
Markets Position Ahead Of Inflation
No major scheduled releases.
Markets begin the week positioning ahead of the RBA decision and US inflation data.
The RBA Decides
The first central bank decision of the week sets the tone before US inflation takes over Wednesday.
US Inflation Takes Centre Stage
This is the key day of the week.
- CPI m/m → near-term inflation momentum
- Core CPI y/y → underlying price pressure trend
- Headline vs core divergence → signal on where price pressure is building
Inflation takes centre stage.
Producer Prices And Growth Signals
Producer prices test whether Wednesday's CPI read holds, while UK growth data adds a global growth check.
Consumer Data Closes The Week
Consumer spending and inflation expectations provide the week's final read on household demand and price outlook.
Central Bank Backdrop, Rates Remain Restrictive
Interest rate divergence continues to shape capital flows across global markets.
The Bigger Picture
- US inflation remains the dominant macro theme
- The RBA decision tests whether Australian policy stays on hold
- Producer prices will confirm or challenge Wednesday's CPI signal
- Consumer spending and sentiment close the week's inflation narrative
Everything builds into inflation vs growth vs policy.
Actual data vs expectations = the move.
