Earlier, from New Zealand: NZ data - January Building Consents +0.8% m/m (prior -7.2%)
Still to come:
0000GMT - Australia - Melbourne Institute Inflation (February)
- This is a privately produced measure on inflation
- We get official data one a quarter, so this monthly survey is welcome information
- Not usually much an FX market mover though
- prior 0.6% m/m & 2.1% y/y
0030GMT - Australia - Retail Sales, January
- expected +0.4%, prior -0.1%
- December was weak
- Expected for today's result (January data) is not too hot either
- Household spending is an area of concern for the Reserve Bank of Australia (meeting tomorrow)
Also 0030GMT - ANZ's Job Ads figures for February
- prior 4.0% m/m and +3.7% y/y
0100GMT - New Zealand - Monthly Economic Indicators data from the NZ Treasury
Usually a good summary of what's happening in the New Zealand economy (think 'Rock Star')
