Australian Dollar (AUD) Has been under pressure from the global stock market fall but the biggest hit came from Q2 CPI which shocked at 0.1% vs. 0.6% Q/Q. The weak inflation certainly almost confirms the RBA will cut next Tuesday and will be a constant source of AUD weakness going into the event. Looking ahead, RBNZ Rate meeting forecast to hold at 2.5%.
