At 02:30 (GMT+2), Q4 Australian data on the consumer price index is due. It is the main indicator of inflation in the country and determines the change in retail prices for a certain basket of goods and services: food, transport, utilities, health care, and so on. It has a significant impact on monetary policy decisions. The index may adjust from 2.8% to 2.5% YoY, and from 0.2% to 0.3% QoQ, while the weighted average quarterly indicator is likely to fall from 0.8% to 0.6%, and the truncated year’s indicator from 3.5% to 3.3%.
