Headline inflation accelerated to a two-decade high of +5.1% Y/Y, while the key measure of core price growth breached the RBA's target range of +2.0%-3.0% Y/Y, with both printing above consensus forecasts. The report prompted participants to add hawkish RBA bets, with markets now fully pricing a 15bp cash rate hike next Tuesday.
