Welcome to the Extreme Investor Network blog, where we bring you the latest insights and analysis on the stock market, trading, and Wall Street. Today, we dive into the world of Australian Consumer Inflation Expectations and how it is impacting the RBA and the economy.
Economists have been offering mixed views on the RBA interest rate expectations, with some predicting a possible rate hike in September. Bloomberg TV APAC Chief Markets Editor David Ingles pointed out the hotter-than-expected Monthly CPI Indicator, leading to speculation about a rate hike. However, Westpac Chief Economist Luci Ellis forecasted a potential interest rate cut in November, causing confusion among investors.
As the debate over RBA rate hike continues, all eyes are now turning towards China’s economic data and its impact on the AUD/USD pairing. Crucial inflation numbers from China are set to be released on July 10, with economists predicting a rise in the annual inflation rate. A positive outcome could signal an improving demand environment, benefiting the Australian economy significantly.
Furthermore, trade data from China will be released on July 12, with expectations of an increase in imports and exports. This could further boost Australian exports and trade-related jobs, as China plays a crucial role in Australian trade relations.
While the focus remains on China’s economic data, the US CPI Report on July 11 will also be closely watched. Economists are forecasting the US core inflation rate to remain steady in June, with hopes of easing annual inflation rates. A softer-than-expected inflation figure could solidify expectations of a September Fed rate cut, impacting the AUD/USD trends.
It’s important to keep an eye on both the Chinese and US economic data, as they play a significant role in shaping the future trends in the stock market and trading environment.
