On the podcast today we also look at New Zealand\u2019s CPI read and what it can tell us about Australia\u2019s inflation numbers next week, plus we look ahead to the ECB meeting tonight. And yesterday\u2019s Australian retail numbers was largely a rebound in growth for WA and Victoria, but it seems cafes and restaurants may have led the charge.
