Week’s Outlook: US Inflation and RBA Rate Hike

The positive news this week was the unexpected drop in inflation in the United States. The consumer price index (CPI) held steady from the previous month, while the producer price index (PPI) fell. 

The market is interested in knowing if this trend will continue and how quickly inflation will return to within the Fed’s target range.

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) will disclose the minutes of its most recent monetary policy meeting, which took place in August, early Tuesday. 

The AUD/USD is holding down near 0.7020 as bears take a respite ahead of the important RBA Minutes, particularly following the worst daily fall in a fortnight. 

If the RBA is pessimistic about the economy’s inflationary future, markets believe a rate hike is more likely, which is good for the AUD.
