🔔 Australia CPI — August 26
On Wednesday, August 26 at 1:30 AM UTC, Australia will release its latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report.
CPI is one of the key inflation indicators watched by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) when making interest rate decisions.
Higher-than-expected inflation could keep rates higher for longer, supporting the AUD and potentially pushing AUD/USD higher. Lower-than-expected inflation could increase expectations for rate cuts, putting pressure on the AUD and AUD/USD.
CPI (YoY):
📊 Previous: 3.8%
📊 Forecast: 3.2%
With 3.2% already expected by the market, the key factor will be whether the actual figure comes in above or below expectations.
Possible market reaction:
🔼 Above 3.2% → AUD/USD may move higher
🔽 Below 3.2% → AUD/USD may move lower
What’s your forecast?
👍 AUD/USD will go up
👎 AUD/USD will go down
