Why Inflation Expectations matters for AUD
Central banks including the Reserve Bank of Australia closely monitor inflation expectations because they can become self-fulfilling: if wage-setters and businesses expect higher inflation, they will demand higher wages and prices, realizing the expectation.
How to interpret this series
A rise in expectations above the Reserve Bank of Australia's target increases pressure to tighten policy and is generally aud-positive. Falling expectations raise the probability of rate cuts and can weaken the aud.
