The Reserve Bank of Australia is due at 0430 GMT. Previews earlier:
- Preview of Tuesday 02 May 2022 RBA meeting —Most Expect a Small Hike
- CBA forecasts the Reserve Bank of Australia will remain on hold
- RBA will not hike on Tuesday 02 May 2022 because of the election
Otherwise its a light agenda:
2 2 45 GMT New Zealand Building Permits for March
prior 10.5% m/m
2310 GMT will bring an RBA official speaking, I do not expect anything at all re monetary policy from this:
- Ellis Connolly, Head of Payments Policy, at Real Time Payments Summit, NPPA conference
If you are checking out the ForexLive Economic Calendar, take note of a couple of things:
- The 2330 speech from RBA's "Ellis" is not Luci Ellis. I initially assumed this but its not her. Luci Ellis is Assistant Governor (Economic) and what she says publicly carries a lot of weight, but it ain't her today.
- at 0100 GMT monthly inflation data is listed. This came out yesterday.
Apologies for any confusion, but those bullet points should clear it up.
