The main event this week is the start of the US Q2 Results Calendar. Chinese GDP numbers on Monday are a focus – this will kick off a Chinese economic trajectory debate and provoke stimulus chatter. RBA Meeting Minutes Tuesday. Michele Bullock takes over in September – there are two more RBA Meetings before that. The appointment is seen as Dovish (less likely to raise rates). Australia also has jobs numbers on Wednesday.

The lower-than-expected CPI number last week suggests a good chance that the RBA will pause rates, but almost all the strategists are saying the same thing, inflation is too high, and even if they do pause now, they will have to raise rates twice if not three times more. If they do pause, I think it’ll be good for the market, whatever the strategists are saying. And hopefully, it will extend this consumer discretionary rally for us.
