Australia Energy Minister Chris Bowen will visit Saudi Arabia next week to meet the Saudi energy minister as escalation in the Middle East raises concerns about potential global supply disruptions. Official data show Australia imported 84% of its oil product demand last year; since February, when conflict involving the US, Israel and Iran escalated, Canberra says it has moved quickly to secure supplies. Bowen said Australia currently holds 41 days of gasoline stocks and that Saudi measures will be critical to fuel security in the coming weeks and months. He ruled out further fuel tax cuts; the Labor government halved the fuel consumption tax in March for three months to ease household costs.

Canada annual CPI remained 3.0% in August, unchanged from July. Brent crude trading above $100/bbl and stronger oil-driven pump costs kept inflation elevated; gasoline fell slightly month-on-month but was still up 22.8% YoY (July: +25.7%). Food inflation cooled to 2.8% YoY, the first sub‑3% reading in 14 months, after food had been rising faster than headline since July. U.S. President Trump’s new 50% tariff and Canada’s retaliatory measures are expected to add cost pressure through the month and could lift next month’s CPI. The BOC warned it will not hesitate to raise rates multiple times if inflation remains high and begins to affect key core measures.
