Week Ahead Analysis

As we head into the upcoming week, financial markets are gearing up for significant economic data releases, which have the potential to impact global investment decisions. One key event on the radar is the Australian Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is expected to fall from 1.9% to 1.3%. This drop in inflation is likely to weigh on the Australian Dollar, particularly as we approach a seasonally weak period for the currency. Historically, the Australian Dollar tends to under perform during the end of April through to the end of May, and this year looks to be no exception. Investors should keep a close eye on this release, as it could influence the Reserve Bank of Australia’s monetary policy decisions in the coming months.

Meanwhile, the United States is preparing for the release of its Advance GDP data for the quarter, with growth expected to fall from 2.6% to 2.0%. This deceleration could prompt concerns about the health of the US economy, particularly in light of the anticipated rise in unemployment claims from 245k to 249k. As these figures emerge, market participants will be closely monitoring the Federal Reserve’s response to this economic slowdown, as it may signal potential changes to monetary policy. Overall, investors should remain vigilant in the week ahead, as these key data points have the potential to shape market sentiment and drive currency movements across the globe.
