There were no data releases from Australia yesterday, but over the weekend China's CPI and PPI figures were published. China's consumer inflation rose to a seven-month high, as falls in food prices softened, dragging less on the overall index, official data showed Saturday. China's consumer-price index increased 1.8% in August from a year earlier, compared with a 1.4% gain in July, the National Bureau of Statistics said. Food prices edged down 0.2% on year, after dropping 1.1% in July. Nonfood prices grew 2.3% on year, compared with 2.0% on-year growth in July.

The key inflation reading outpaced a 1.6% gain forecast by economists polled by The Wall Street Journal. Policy makers in Beijing hope to keep inflation under about 3% this year. On a month-over-month basis, the CPI rose 0.4% in August from a month earlier. In July, the index edged up 0.1% from the previous month. The producer-price index climbed 6.3% in August compared with a 5.5% on-year increase in July. The reading for factory-gate prices came in faster than a median forecast for a 5.7% increase by the economists.

 

Tomorrow, from the Australia, NAB Business Confidence will be released. Analysts expect another good reading. There will be no major data releases from the USA.

 

Figures to watch:
