Summary of Upcoming Economic Events on August 13, 2025
Asia-Pacific – Australia
Home Loans (MoM) – 01:30 UTC
- Prev: –2.5%
- Impact: An improvement would suggest stabilizing housing demand, potentially supporting AUD and related banking/real estate equities. A further decline would reinforce housing market weakness.
Wage Price Index (QoQ, Q2) – 01:30 UTC
- Forecast: 0.8% (Prev. 0.9%)
- Impact: Slower wage growth reduces inflationary pressure, increasing the likelihood of RBA policy easing; could weigh on AUD.
United States – Energy & Fed Commentary
IEA Monthly Report – 08:00 UTC
- Impact: Oil market outlook revisions can move crude prices, energy stocks, and inflation expectations.
Crude Oil Inventories – 14:30 UTC
- Prev: –3.029M
- Impact: A continued drawdown would support crude prices and feed into higher inflation expectations, potentially lifting USD and energy equities.
Cushing Crude Oil Inventories – 14:30 UTC
- Prev: 0.453M
- Impact: Changes in Cushing storage levels can influence WTI futures spreads.
FOMC Member Bostic Speaks – 17:30 UTC
- Impact: Bostic’s comments could shape near-term Fed rate expectations; any hawkish hints may support USD, while dovish remarks could lift equities.
Market Impact Analysis
- Primary Driver: Oil market data (IEA report + inventory releases) will dominate commodity-linked currency and inflation sentiment.
- Secondary Driver: Australian wage data—slightly weaker expectations point to reduced wage-driven inflation risk, adding downward pressure on AUD.
- Tertiary Driver: Fed commentary may cause late-session swings in USD and U.S. Treasury yields.
Overall Impact Score: 7/10
- Strong commodity influence, moderate monetary policy signals.
