ABS releases May inflation figures
The Australian Bureau of Statistics is expected to report that headline inflation edged down to 4.1% while underlying trimmed mean ticked up to 3.5%, reflecting diverging price trends.
Tentative truce allows Hormuz transits to increase
Cargo ships begin transiting the Strait of Hormuz in greater numbers following a fragile truce, though supply recovery is expected to take many months.
Manufacturing PMI at 52.0
The prior comparable manufacturing PMI print was 52.0 in June, unchanged from the latest reading.
Oil prices trend lower despite Strait closure
Even with the Strait of Hormuz effectively shut amid Middle East conflict, crude oil benchmarks fall to multi-month lows, complicating the inflation outlook.
Home-brand milk prices increase
ANZ economists note home-brand milk prices rose in very late April, signalling early pass-through of energy and fertiliser cost pressures to perishable food.
Input cost pressures reach recent high
Cost inflation hit a recent high in April before softening in successive months, according to the S&P Global survey.
S&P Global's latest Australia manufacturing PMI held at 52.0, with new orders expanding across sectors but manufacturing output dipping slightly. For supply chain and logistics operators, rising input costs alongside cooling charge inflation points to margin pressure for Australian manufacturers.
The Iran war throttles oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, threatening logistics costs and supply continuity. With Australian fuel prices already rising, supply chain operators face higher bunker charges and war-risk premiums, just as a critical OPEC meeting sets production targets.
Australia's supply chain professionals face intensifying cost pass-through as the May inflation reading is set to show trimmed mean rising to 3.5%. Despite falling oil prices, lagged energy and fertiliser costs are pushing up perishable goods like milk, revealing deep-seated logistics inflation that will linger even if the Strait of Hormuz reopens.
The Reserve Bank of Australia’s chief economist has raised the alarm on more frequent supply shocks straining global logistics and procurement. With Australian real wages already down 5.1% since 2021, supply chain planners face a new reality where geopolitical and climate disruptions drive persistent inflation and demand volatility.
