AUD/USD Daily Forecast - 21 February

From Australia, yesterday, RBA Meeting Minutes were released.  Early morning session brought RBA Meeting Minutes. Over 2017, progress had been made in reducing the unemployment rate and bringing inflation closer to target. The low level of interest rates was continuing to play a role in achieving this outcome. Further progress on these goals was expected over the period ahead but the increase in inflation was likely to occur only gradually as the economy strengthened; the Bank's central forecast for the Australian economy was for GDP growth to pick up to average a little above 3 per cent over the next two years and for CPI inflation to be a little above 2 per cent in 2018.

Members observed that an appreciating exchange rate would be expected to result in a slower pick-up in economic activity and inflation than forecast. Taking into account the available information, the Board judged that holding the stance of monetary policy unchanged would be consistent with sustainable growth in the economy and achieving the inflation target over time.

 

Tomorrow, from Australia, Construction Work Done and Wage Price Index figures were will be released. Construction Work Done is expected to decline by 9.8%, while Wage Price Index should increase by 0.5%. In the US session Existing Home Sales data will be published. Incline to 5.61 million is anticipated. However the focus of the session will be on FOMC Meeting Minutes, though no new stanzas should be expressed.

Construction Work Done (Wednesday 1:30)

Wage Price Index (Wednesday 1:30)

Existing Home Sales (Wednesday 16:00)

FOMC Meeting Minutes (Wednesday 20:00)
