Australian CPI: Wednesday, 00:30. The land down under releases inflation figures only once per quarter, making every publication substantial. Headline Consumer Price Index carries expectations of accelerating from 0.5%to 0.6% in the fourth quarter of 2019 while the Trimmed Mean CPI (core) is projected to repeat the rise of 0.4% that was seen in the third quarter. After the recent strong jobs statistics, the Reserve Bank of Australia will likely hold rates unchanged.

Fed decision: Wednesday, 19:00, press conference at 19:30. After three consecutive rate cuts, the world’s most powerful central bank signaled it would take a long pause. Since then, officials have reiterated this message, that rates are “appropriate.” Nevertheless, investors will scrutinize every word in the accompanying rate statement and that comes out of Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Federal Reserve. In the previous decision, Powell reaffirmed his stance that the bar for raising rates is higher than the one for cutting them. Inflation would first need to sustainably rise before the Fed would consider hiking borrowing costs. However, a deteriorating outlook could trigger a cut. Markets will be watching his words about this topic and also about the recent mediocre jobs report, the healthy growth rates, and lower trade tensions between China and the US. An upbeat tone could lift the dollar while a downbeat one could depress it.
