Last week’s Australian inflation read came in at 2.7% y/y as markets were predicting sending the AUD higher against the British Pound (GBP) to close the week circa 0.5165 (1.9360) levels. Its still not enough for the RBA to consider cutting rates just yet, what’s interesting in the CPI number is a drop of -17% in electricity based on the govt providing rebates. So, the CPI number could end up rising back above 3.0% once the rebates have finished at the end of 2025. The AUD climbed to 0.5185 (1.9285) resistance early this morning before dropping back to 0.5170 (1.9350)
Current Level: 1.9346
Resistance: 1.9250
Support: 1.9270
Last Weeks Range: 1.9324- 1.9570
