The appearance comes a week before the RBA&#8217;s September 28-29 meeting, where a 25 basis point increase from the current 4.35% cash rate is widely expected.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Investors will be listening for any change from the <a href=\"https:\/\/investinglive.com\/news\/investinglive-asia-pacific-market-news-boj-hike-and-rba-hawkish-tilt\/\" rel=\"follow\">firm tone she struck before a parliamentary committee on Friday<\/a>. Bullock said the upside inflation risks flagged in August are now materialising, and framed the central question as whether tightening so far is enough to return inflation to target in a reasonable time. In further comments she said there is a general consensus that the neutral rate has risen, that inflation risks are skewed to the upside, and that persistent shocks are hard to look through. She also pointed to higher-for-longer oil prices and to businesses being more willing to pass on cost increases. The Australian dollar firmed on the remarks.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Deputy Governor Andrew Hauser added that the Board is totally committed to hitting the inflation target, while UBS said it now expects two more hikes, taking the cash rate to a 4.85% terminal rate. Markets had put the odds of a September increase at roughly 70 to 75% after Friday&#8217;s comments.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The fireside format tends to be less scripted than a formal speech, so questions on oil, cost pass-through and how far rates need to rise could draw more detail. Central bank speakers often use such appearances to reinforce existing pricing rather than reset it, so a repeat of Friday&#8217;s language would likely keep a September hike firmly in play. Australian labour force data on Thursday is the next key input before the decision.<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Eamonn Sheridan at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s a sparse session ahead for data and events.\u00a0 Note that Japanese markets are closed again today for a holiday.
