Australia's Q2 2026 producer price index jumped 1.3% quarter-on-quarter, far above the 0.3% prediction and speeding from the prior 0.4% reading. This sharp increase in PPI draws attention to rising inflationary pressures at the producer level and possible pass-through impacts on consumer prices in the next quarter.
Concurrently, private sector credit grew 0.8% month-on-month in June 2026, the biggest gain since December and above the previous 0.7%.
