Analyst James Glynn says revised Reserve Bank of Australia forecasts point to a policy setting close to comfortable. The RBA has raised its unemployment path to 4.5% by December from 4.3% previously, cut its headline CPI forecast to 3.6% by December from 4.0%, and lowered trimmed‑mean inflation to 3.3% by December from 3.5%, with trimmed mean expected to reach 2.4% by June 2028. Glynn says the direction of these revisions is consistent with the RBA nearing the end of its tightening cycle.

China State Planner and the National Energy Administration issued the coal industry '15th Five-Year' plan requiring orderly continuation of replacement-capacity construction, stepped-up resource exploration and reserve upgrades to secure coal continuity. They tighten total capacity control, aligning new capacity with resource potential and regional supply–demand balance, and confine new builds mainly to five major supply bases while prioritizing upstream–downstream integrated projects and cross-regional supply-security schemes. During the '15th Five-Year' period, new capacity must be entered into the central capacity ledger before implementation; all types of coal mines must strictly comply with the capacity replacement policy.
