The latest from the ABS on retail turnover looked superficially stronger (and again the MSM went to town). But correcting for population growth and inflation it is a different story, and we know some are cutting back hard, while others are spending big on the offers and discount incentives. Nothing here to stop the RBA, in my view.

The latest numberwang from the ABS showed only a slight fall in core inflation, though the headline dropped a bit. And of course the MSM were celebrating the “news”. These are the less reliable monthly series of course.
However, the underlying story is one of sticky wages inflation and some one-off changes which offset rises. And of course higher power costs will start to hit from July. So, nothing here to deflect the RBA.

The latest new lending data from the ABS showed a surprise fall in April, with a drop in refinancing, first time buyers, and general lending for housing.
This surprise change in the lending weather might be related to Easter which occurred in the month, or it might reflect the higher interest rates now on the cards.
We discuss the data and consider the consequences.

The April ABS release showed a surprise small rise in the unemployment rate. So we look at the figures and ask if this is significant, given the budget papers expectation of higher unemployment ahead.

We review the latest in new lending statistics and building approvals released by the ABS.
In essence there are signals of consistent slowing, despite a small rise in first time buyers entering the market in reaction to the 1 month RBA rate rise pause. However, refinancing continues to drive the markets as more seek better rates. Building approvals continue to languish, as the HIA are always keen to underscore.

The latest in inflation from the ABS reveals a higher level of underlying inflation, despite the4 base effects people were expecting to see. As result, the expectation for a further round of rate hikes extended in Australia, as the energy and gas prices continue to climb.
That said, some optimistic market analysts are call for rate cuts later in the year – but in your dreams… I am thinking!
