She will likely still be taking questions when the September quarter CPI lands at 11:30 am AEDT (00:30 GMT), so any comments on the result could come almost in real time.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The major banks broadly expect quarterly trimmed mean inflation of around 1.0%, above the RBA\u2019s August forecast of 0.8%, with the annual rate near 3.6%. An upside surprise would strengthen the case for further tightening when the RBA Board meets on November 2 and 3.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Then at 2 pm NZDT (01:00 GMT, 21:00 US Eastern), the RBNZ is widely expected to lift its official cash rate 25 basis points to 3%, ten days before New Zealand\u2019s general election. With a hike largely priced, the guidance may matter more for the New Zealand dollar than the move itself.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Our previews of the CPI data and the RBNZ decision, published earlier this week, have more detail.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Eamonn Sheridan at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve posted previews for the Australian inflation data and the RBNZ deciison.
