Australian wholesale inflation came in significantly lower than anticipated yesterday at 1% vs. a median forecast of 1.6%, sparking a market rally in advance of the CPI number on Wednesday.

Reported inflation in July could come in lower than consensus expectations, globally. I think this is one of the primary reasons as to why the shorts are being continuously squeezed this past week, and why the top side of my short term trading range can be achieved.
