As Australian Retail Sales Continue To Underperform Expectations, AUD/JPY Corrects To Near 87.20

The AUD/JPY pair has declined to near 87.20 as a consequence of weaker Retail Sales data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The increase in economic data was 0.2%, which was less than the consensus estimate of 0.4% and the previous release of 1.9%. A weaker-than-anticipated retail demand suggests that households are unable to compensate for the impact of inflated products with their present purchasing power.

 

The headline may suggest weakening retail demand, but the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), which is working to restrict elevated inflation, is ecstatic.

 

This week, the Australian Dollar is expected to remain in focus prior to the release of the monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI) (Feb) data on Wednesday. According to projections, the inflation rate will decline from 7.4% to 7.1%.

 

There is evidence that Australia's inflation rate has begun to decline, as stated by the RBA's policymakers. As the present monetary policy is already sufficiently restrictive to control persistent inflation, the RBA could conclude its policy-tightening process at the April monetary meeting.

 

In addition, the National Bureau of Statistics' (NBS) Manufacturing PMI for China will be the most influential factor for the Australian Dollar. China's economy is now focused on the road to economic recovery, following the elimination of pandemic controls. Consequently, a respectable performance is anticipated within the manufacturing industry. Australia is China's most important trading partner, and an increase in the Chinese PMI will also boost the Australian Dollar.

 

Haruhiko Kuroda, the former governor of the Bank of Japan (BoJ), will continue to be the center of attention in Tokyo. BoJ Kuroda may reaffirm the continuation of ultra-loose monetary policy to stimulate earnings and the economy's overall demand.
