All eyes on US inflation

• Waiting game. Most markets consolidate ahead of tonight’s US CPI report. US bond yields a little lower, while the USD index tread water.• AUD revival. Firmer base metal prices helped the AUD. The AUD’s recent rebound is inline with its seasonal pattern. Will the US CPI stop its upswing?• RBNZ meeting. RBNZ meets today. It may not (yet) tweak its forward guidance. This may see AUD/NZD’s upturn temporarily stall. Tonight’s US CPI inflation report (10:30pm AEST) is the key event for markets, and with it coming closer into view it isn’t surprising most of major asset classes consolidated overnight....

Dollar Pushes Higher Ahead of Economically-Eventful Week

The dollar is trading with a firmer bias ahead of a week filled with first-tier economic events, and after Friday’s forecast-crushing US jobs number triggered a pop in Treasury yields.

Waiting game

• Quiet start. Global equities mixed. Bond yields drifted higher. USD a little softer. AUD has clawed back a bit of ground over the past 24hrs.• CNH & JPY.

Locally, the monthly CPI indicator is due tomorrow & retail sales are released on Thursday. It has been a typically quiet start to the holiday shortened week with limited new news over the past 24hrs. Most of the major global equity...
