Consumer Price Index
Australia’s September quarter consumer price inflation (CPI) report has just been released, and it’s come in hotter-than-expected. Headline CPI rose by 0.7% for the quarter, leaving the year-on-year increase at 1.3%. The figure beat expectations for an increase of 0.5% and was higher than the 0.4% level reported in the June quarter. Economists were looking for a gain of 0.4% for the quarter, and 1.55% increase year-on-year.

Considering the overall technical and fundamental outlook, selling the pair can be a good strategy if we get a better a valid bearish reversal candle on the daily chart.
