AUSTRALIA DATA
APACAustraliaData BulletBulletGlobalFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange BulletsRegionMarkets

Australian Melbourne Institute consumer inflation expectations are heading in the right direction with the November reading moderating 0.2pp to 3.8%, the lowest since the pandemic-impacted February 2021 and they were trending higher at that point. After struggling to break below 4%, expectations now appear to be trending lower. They peaked at 6.7% in June 2022, the month after the first hike this cycle, and started 2024 at 4.5%. Headline inflation at 2.8% in Q3, despite its temporary nature, and lower petrol prices plus the RBA’s resoluteness have likely helped to bring inflation expectations down below 4%.
