Economic calendar in Asia – Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Bullock is speaking, twice

The heads up to Bullock speaking is here from earlier this week:

• Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Bullock is speaking twice in the week ahead

Repeating it …

Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Bullock is speaking twice on Thursday September 5.

At noon local time, Bullock will address The Anika Foundation, Sydney

• 0200 GMT, 2200 US Eastern time (Wednesday evening)

At 7 pm Sydney time Bullock will speak in a Fireside Chat (pre-recorded) at the Women in Banking & Finance Awards

• 0900 GMT, 0500 US Eastern time

We have heard from Bullock a couple of weeks back at the Australian parliament:

• More RBA Gov Bullock – don’t see interest rates coming down quickly
• AUD/USD maintaining its session highs after RBA Governor Bullock hawkish again
• RBA Governor Bullock: Don’t expect to be back in 2-3% target range until end of 2025

And in the minutes of the August meeting:

• RBA minutes: Possible cash rate will stay steady for an extended period

I strongly suspect unchanged messaging from Bullock this week along the lines:

• ruling out a near-term cash rate cut
• RBA eyes are on preserving gains in the labour market
• services inflation remains high and sticky

• The times in the left-most column are GMT.
• The numbers in the right-most column are the ‘prior’ (previous month/quarter as the case may be) result. The number in the column next to that, where there is a number, is the consensus median expected.
