Wages data and the RBA minutes were broadly as expected so the focus now turns to next week's inflation data for October. This will be the first release of a full monthly CPI in Australia, bringing it in line with global best practice. In this week's podcast, inflation guru Trent Saunders and economist Harry Ottley discuss the new monthly CPI and what to expect from it and inflation over the next couple of years.
