“This coincides with the 200dma for AUD/JPY which comes in at 80.13 today. Headline CPI rose by 0.7% in Q3, with the y/y firming to 1.3% from 1.0% (consensus +0.5%/1.1%). The key core measures—trimmed mean and weighed median—rose by 0.35% on average (consensus 0.4%), with the y/y rate easing slightly to 1.5% (from an upwardly revised 1.6%).

RBC continues to expect the next RBA cut to be delivered in Q2 2017.”
