Chinese currency policy will no doubt continue to reverberate next week but things should settle down a bit as markets digest the ramifications. In a week largely devoid of Australian economic data the release of the minutes of the August RBA meeting would be a highlight, but for the fact the renminbi devaluation renders them effectively outdated.
Of more interest will be the minutes of the last Fed meeting, although once again this week’s PBoC actions will cast doubt on whatever one might glean from the subtleties of Fedspeak with regard a September rate rise.
US data next week include the Empire State and Philly Fed activity indices, housing sentiment, starts and existing home sales, and the CPI.
The eurozone will post its first estimate of June quarter GDP tonight and Japan will follow suit on Monday.
But barring any further left-of-field developments, the focus for the Australian market next week will be on earnings reports, the flow of which shifts into top gear for the next two weeks. There are far too many stocks reporting to highlight any number, so please refer to the FNArena calendar (link above).
