  • For June, prior was +3.7%
  • Due at 0130GMT

From Australia, also at 0130GMT - Q2 CPI. Official inflation data for Australia only comes out once a quarter.

Headline q/q:

  • expected is 0.4%
  • prior was -0.2%

And for the y/y,

  • expected is 1.1%,
  • prior 1.3%

The 'trimmed mean' (which is the measure the RBA pays most heed to, the 'core' inflation measure, where the RBA has a target band of 2 to 3% over the cycle).
q/q:

  • expected 0.4%
  • prior 0.2%

For the y/y:

  • expected is 1.5%
  • prior 1.7%

The 'weighted median' CPI:

  • For q/q: expected is 0.4%, prior was 0.1%
  • For y/y: expected is 1.3%, prior was 1.4%

I've posted a couple of previews with bank assessments, try this one first: Australia: "RBA meeting is "live" & contingent on Wednesday's CPI outcome"

And here: Australian CPI coming up this week

I'll be back with more as we approach.
