The flash reading of these PMIs can be found here:
The manufacturing PMI is improved from June, contradicting the earlier and separate manufacturing PMI data:
–
Nonetheless, both are showing solid expansion. Markit/S&P report comment:
- “Australia’s manufacturing expansion continued in July, according to the latest S&P Global PMI® data. A further acceleration in new order growth was recorded as manufacturing output increased, but at an unchanged pace from June. Strong underlying demand supported a faster pace of job creation, but some companies continued to report difficulties in hiring new employees. Subsequently, staff shortages limited production levels and contributed to the backlog of orders and the further contraction of finished product inventories.
- “Meanwhile, inflationary pressures remain severe, with retail price inflation hitting a near-survey record. Input costs have been listed as the main driver of fee inflation as companies continue to share some of the cost burden with customers. If orders continue to outpace production, as July data indicates, we could see further inflationary pressures in the months ahead. »

Inflation
Inflation is defined as a quantitative measure of the rate at which the average price level of goods and services in an economy or country increases over a period of time. It is the rise in the general price level where a given currency is effectively buying less than it has in previous periods. In terms of valuation of strength or currencies, and by extension foreign currencies, inflation or its measures are extremely influential. Inflation stems from the global creation of money. This money is measured by the level of the total money supply of a specific currency, for example the US dollar, which is constantly increasing. However, an increase in the money supply does not necessarily mean that there is inflation. What leads to inflation is a faster increase in the money supply relative to the wealth produced (measured with GDP). This thus generates pressure from demand on a supply that is not increasing at the same rate. The consumer price index then increases, generating inflation. How Does Inflation Affect Forex? The level of inflation has a direct impact on the exchange rate between two currencies on several levels. This includes purchasing power parity, which attempts to compare the different purchasing power of each country based on the general level of prices. By doing so, it helps to determine the country with the most expensive cost of living. The currency with the higher inflation rate consequently loses value and depreciates, while the currency with the lower inflation rate appreciates in the forex market. Interest rates are also impacted. Inflation rates that are too high push interest rates up, which has the effect of depreciating the currency on the exchange. Conversely, too low inflation (or deflation) pushes interest rates down, which has the effect of appreciating the currency on the foreign exchange market.
