• CPI (MoM): Forecast: 0.2%, Previous: 0.2%.

3. US Federal Budget Balance (Oct) (19:00 UTC):
   Measures the federal government’s budget surplus or deficit. Forecast: -$226.4B, Previous: $64.0B. A larger deficit would indicate higher government spending relative to revenue, potentially affecting the USD by increasing debt concerns.
4. API Weekly Crude Oil Stock (21:30 UTC):
   Tracks weekly changes in US crude oil inventories. Previous: 3.132M. A decline in inventories would signal strong demand, potentially supporting oil prices, while a build would suggest weaker demand, putting pressure on prices.

Market Impact Analysis

• Australia Wage Price Index:
  Higher-than-expected wage growth would support the AUD by indicating inflationary pressures in the labor market, which may prompt further RBA tightening. Lower wage growth would suggest softer inflation, potentially weighing on the AUD.
• US CPI Data:
  Stable or rising CPI figures would reinforce inflationary concerns, supporting the USD by increasing the likelihood of a hawkish Fed stance. Weaker inflation data would reduce pressure on the Fed, potentially softening the USD.
• FOMC Speeches (Kashkari & Williams):
  Hawkish remarks would support the USD by suggesting further Fed tightening, while dovish commentary may signal caution, potentially weakening the currency.
• EIA Short-Term Energy Outlook & API Crude Oil Stock:
  Forecasts of tighter supply or increased demand in the EIA report would support oil prices. The API inventory data also influences oil prices, with a larger-than-expected drawdown supporting prices.
• US Federal Budget Balance:
  A larger deficit may weigh on the USD by raising fiscal sustainability concerns, while a smaller deficit would suggest fiscal improvement, supporting the currency.

Overall Impact

Volatility:
High, driven by significant US inflation data (CPI), wage data from Australia, and FOMC speeches that will influence currency and commodity markets.

Impact Score: 7/10, with the CPI report and Fed commentary likely to set the tone for USD direction, while energy data and budget balance updates will also impact sentiment.
