Australia (GDP input data) Q4 inventories: 0.2% q/q (expected 0.5%)

Q4 GDP is due Wednesday 7 March, the inventory data is an input

Q4 inventories 0.2% q/q for a miss on expected ... this will be a bit of a disappointment for the GDP data

• expected 0.5% q/q, prior +0.1%, revised from +0.2%

I'll get response posted up separately ASAP
