- Change in oil inventories according to the EIA in the spotlight for commodity investors
Today's session will not bring significant macro readings; secondary data will be presented, with a virtually empty macro calendar from the United States. Volatility may be recorded in the oil market, from where data on the change in reserves according to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) will arrive at 3:30 PM BST and markets expect further drop in inventories both oil and little lower for gasoline. In the foreign exchange market today we see a significant strengthening of the Australian dollar, which was supported by higher-than-forecast CPI inflation data, which unexpectedly rose to 4% increasing chances of an interest rate hike, at the upcoming meeting. The market had expected a smaller increase to 3.8% p.a., up from 3.6% previously.
