The AUD/USD pair regained its momentum in today’s Asian session ahead of the release of the Australian Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. After remaining largely flat late in yesterday’s US session, and opening today at 0.9370, the pair has made a few gains already. However, it continues to struggle to break past the 0.9400 unlike last week.
Australia’s YoY CPI for Q1 is expected to be at 3.2%, which is slightly higher than the previous period’s 2.7%. The QoQ growth is seen to be the same as the previous period at 0.8%. There’s also the RBA Trimmed Mean CPI for Q1, which is expected to be at 0.7% on a QoQ basis (previously 0.9%), while the YoY basis is expected to be at 2.9% (previously 2.6%).
