  • ASX Poised to Slip Amid Iran Ceasefire Uncertainty and Key Economic Data Ahead
    June 21, 2026, 9:58 PM EDT. The ASX is set to retreat as markets remain cautious over the fragile Iran war ceasefire. This week, Australia focuses on crucial economic data: May's inflation figures released Wednesday and May's jobs report on Thursday. Commonwealth Bank predicts headline inflation easing slightly to 4.1%, but core inflation may rise to 3.5%, reflecting uncertainty over cost pass-through by businesses. Job growth forecasts range from 15,000 to 45,000 following April's decline. Globally, the US prepares to release the Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) inflation report and the final Q1 GDP estimate, with a solid PCE increase expected that may delay Federal Reserve rate cuts. Additional global activity data include PMI readings from key economies.
