More Ups And Downs For The CPI!

The rather shaky monthly indicators are in from the ABS, and headline inflation is down a tad, though only in some categories, so we should not get too excited. The quarterly GDP number to December was also in, and lower than expected – as ther savings ratios fell, and household discretionary spending wilted, though travel, and student arrivals helped to support GDP.

Again, not too much here to suggest other than more weakness ahead as rates rise.
