Due from Australia today:

0030GMT - Westpac Consumer Confidence Index for July

  • prior was a big drop of -6.9% m/m

Yesterday we got the weekly consumer confidence data from the ANZ bank survey .... and that hit a 12-month low

On the other hand, business confidence for June from the National Australia Bank survey showed a pick up, to its highest since October 2013. The data point gave the AUD a boost.

0130GMT we get June New Vehicle Sales .... this is not an immediate focus for the FX market

  • prior was -1.3% m/m and +0.8% y/y

Also of interst today will be Chinese data - Retail Sales and Industrial Production for June, along with GDP for Q2. I'll be back with more for these. Greg has the TA for the AUD here, check it out.
