The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Trimmed Mean CPI reported at 0.7% QoQ basis, beating the market consensus of 0.5%. The aussie gains on the expectations that the higher inflation readings will prompt the RBA to raise the cash rate before 2024.

The BoJ is expected to maintain its massive stimulus program while signaling more delays in the economic recovery.
