The latest weekly Inflation Expectations are at 5.7% for the week of October 16-22 – up 0.4% points from a week ago. This is the highest weekly Inflation Expectations have been since the first week of July. However, a look at the monthly Inflation Expectations for September shows that the measure was down 0.2% points to 5.2%. In the month of September, Australians expected inflation of 5.2% annually over the next two years. This decline in Inflation Expectations in the month of September is important given that the monthly ABS CPI estimate for September is set to be released on Wednesday. The ABS monthly CPI estimate for August was 5.2%, up from 4.9% in the year to July. The data for the Inflation Expectations series is drawn from the Roy Morgan Single Source which has interviewed an average of around 5,000 Australians aged 14+ per month over the last decade and includes interviews with 6,025 Australians aged 14+ in September 2023.
