Earlier today, we saw the release of Australia's wage growth report for Q3 2024. Wage growth in Australia slowed in the last quarter, reflecting an easing of price pressures across the economy and strengthening expectations for an interest rate cut at the next RBA meeting. However, according to analysts, a one-time decline in prices will not be sufficient for the RBA, with the earliest possible easing of monetary policy likely in the first quarter of 2025.

The wage price index rose 3.5% year-on-year for the three months to September, compared to 4.1% in the previous period and economists' estimates of 3.6%. On a quarterly basis, wages increased by 0.8%, slightly less than forecast.

Japan's producer price index (PPI) rose by 3.4% in October compared to the same period last year, exceeding analysts' expectations. On a monthly basis, PPI increased by 0.2%.
