Data inflasi AS pada hari Rabu adalah pusat minggu ini, tetapi dengan minyak mendekati level tertinggi tujuh bulan, sentimen Bitcoin (BTC) bergeser, dan dolar Australia pada level tertinggi tiga tahun, pedagang memiliki banyak hal untuk dinavigasi di minggu mendatang.
Fakta Singkat
- Tingkat inflasi AS (Februari) adalah peristiwa biner utama untuk harga penurunan suku bunga dan arah ekuitas.
- Minyak mentah Brent diperdagangkan di sekitar US$82—84/barel, mendekati level tertinggi tujuh bulan, dengan premi risiko geopolitik $4—$10 yang dihasilkan dari ketegangan Iran/Hormuz.
- Bitcoin diperdagangkan di atas US $70.000 pada 6 Maret, perubahan tren potensial jika bertahan sepanjang minggu.
Amerika Serikat: Inflasi dalam Fokus
Pembacaan inflasi AS bulan lalu menunjukkan harga naik 2,4% tahun-ke-tahun, masih jauh di atas target Fed 2%.
Tingkat inflasi Februari, yang akan dijadwalkan pada hari Rabu, akan diteliti untuk tanda-tanda bahwa penerusan tarif atau kenaikan biaya energi mendorong harga kembali naik, atau apakah penurunan lambat masih utuh.
Pertemuan FOMC Maret pada 17-18 Maret sekarang dihargai hanya dengan kemungkinan pemotongan 4,7%. Pencetakan inflasi yang lebih tinggi dari perkiraan minggu ini berpotensi mendorong ekspektasi penurunan suku bunga lebih jauh.
Bacaan yang lebih lembut membuka pintu untuk pemotongan harga yang diperbarui dan potensi keringanan di seluruh aset berisiko.
Tanggal Utama
- Tingkat Inflasi AS (CPI Februari): Rabu 11 Maret, 00:30 pagi (AEDT)
Memantau
- Divergensi inflasi inti vs utama sebagai bukti penerusan tarif dalam harga barang.
- Sensitivitas imbal hasil kas 2 tahun dan 10 tahun terhadap cetakan.
- Arah USD dan harga ulang FedWatch menjelang keputusan FOMC 18 Maret.
Minyak: tinggi dan peka terhadap peristiwa
Brent saat ini diperdagangkan sekitar US$83—85 per barel, dengan kisaran 52 minggu yang mencakup $58,40 hingga $85,12, mencerminkan pergerakan dramatis yang dipicu oleh konflik Timur Tengah.
Analis memperkirakan premi risiko geopolitik yang sudah dibakar pada minyak sebesar US$4—$10 per barel, dan perkiraan rata-rata Brent 2026 telah dinaikkan menjadi US$63,85/barel, naik dari US$62,02 pada Januari.
Prospek Energi Jangka Pendek EIA memperkirakan Brent rata-rata $58/bbl pada tahun 2026, jauh di bawah harga spot saat ini.
Kesenjangan antara spot dan baseline perkiraan bisa menjadi kerangka yang berguna bagi para pedagang minggu ini: setiap sinyal de-eskalasi dari Timur Tengah dapat dengan cepat menutup kesenjangan itu.
Memantau
- Perkembangan Selat Hormuz dan sinyal diplomatik apa pun dari pembicaraan nuklir Iran.
- Data inventaris minyak mingguan EIA.
- Minyak berpengaruh terhadap ekspektasi inflasi dan apakah itu menggeser postur bank sentral.
- Kinerja ekuitas sektor energi relatif terhadap pasar yang lebih luas.
Bitcoin: tontonan sentimen
BTC telah berusaha untuk stabil setelah koreksi 53% yang brutal selama 17 minggu terakhir, dipicu oleh meningkatnya ketegangan geopolitik dan kekhawatiran tarif baru.
Namun, kemarin melihat lonjakan 8% kembali di atas $72,000, dan “indeks ketakutan dan keserakahan” kripto melonjak menjadi 29 (ketakutan), naik dari bawah 20 (ketakutan ekstrim), di mana telah bertahan selama lebih dari sebulan, menunjukkan potensi pergeseran sentimen.
Cetakan inflasi AS yang lebih dingin dari perkiraan pada hari Rabu dapat memberikan bahan bakar lebih lanjut untuk terobosan; hot print berisiko menarik BTC kembali di bawah level US $70.000 yang baru saja direklamasi.
Memantau
- Reaksi cetak inflasi pada hari Rabu sebagai katalis makro utama untuk langkah tersebut.
- Setiap rotasi ke altcoin mengikuti kekuatan BTC.
- Data masuk/keluar ETF sebagai konfirmasi partisipasi institusi.
AUD/USD: Hawkish RBA bertemu dengan angin geopolitik
Aussie diperdagangkan mendekati level tertinggi lebih dari tiga tahun dan menuju kenaikan bulanan keempat berturut-turut, naik lebih dari 6% tahun-hingga saat ini, menjadikannya mata uang G10 berkinerja terbaik pada tahun 2026.
Pengemudi adalah perbedaan kebijakan yang jelas. Gubernur RBA Michele Bullock mengisyaratkan pertemuan kebijakan Maret “hidup” untuk kemungkinan kenaikan suku bunga, dan memperingatkan bahwa guncangan harga minyak dari ketegangan Iran dapat memicu kembali tekanan inflasi domestik.
Harga pasar sekarang menunjukkan sekitar 28% peluang kenaikan 25 bp pada pertemuan mendatang, sementara harga penuh dalam pengetatan hingga Mei, dan sekitar peluang 75% kenaikan lagi menjadi 4,35% pada akhir tahun.
Bacaan hawkish ini, melawan Fed yang ditunda dan menghadapi tekanan politik yang sopan, menciptakan potensi angin struktural bagi Aussie.
Memantau
- Reaksi AUD/USD terhadap data inflasi AS hari Rabu.
- Harga ulang probabilitas kenaikan suku bunga RBA sepanjang minggu.
- Harga bijih besi dan komoditas sebagai pendorong AUD sekunder.
- Sinyal permintaan China, mengingat eksposur ekspor Australia.
The Reserve Bank of Australia rate meeting today was supposed to be a done deal of another hold in rates, with futures markets pricing in an over 90% chance of that being the outcome. The RBA however, showing their determination to get an inflation rate still well outside their target band instead delivered a 25bp hike after last months pause, surprising the market and seeing a dramatic reaction in the Aussie dollar (pump) and equity markets. (dump) AUDUSD and ASX200 reaction: Adding to this was what was see as a hawkish statement accompanying the decision, helping to cement the original moves which look now to have some legs, likely seeing the AUDUSD break the 0.67 level this session. *RBA RAISES CASH RATE TARGET 25 BASIS POINTS TO 3.85% *RBA: SOME FURTHER TIGHTENING OF MONETARY POLICY MAY BE REQUIRED *RBA SAYS RATE RISE TO HELP ANCHOR INFLATION EXPECTATIONS

Natural Gas price action has had an amazing two years, with the usually pretty boring commodity showing extreme volatility pushing it to all time highs before a dramatic collapse seeing it back where it started in 2020. Like all the energy complex, Oil being a good example, the start of the Covid panic saw wild price fluctuations as traders came to terms with lockdowns and the related slowdowns, followed by unprecedented Central Bank stimulus. But the real push higher in Natural Gas came at the start of the war in Ukraine and the loss of Russian Gas for European suppliers, with fears of a cold winter with a much constrained supply of gas seeing the price spike to all-time highs.
But instead of a long cold gas starved winter the northern hemisphere experienced higher-than-average temperatures which meant the gas supply crunch wasn’t as dire as feared which sent liquefied natural gas prices tumbling to pre covid levels from a record all-time high. With Natural gas back to historical support levels there is a technical and fundamental case for a move higher in the near future. From a technical perspective, on a daily chart we can see that Natural Gas has found strong support since February around the 2.09 level, an historic level it found support at before the pandemic as well, we can also wee a rounding bottom pattern forming on a daily chart, this is considered one of the most reliable chart patterns in technical analysis.
According to a recent interview with Bloomberg by Yukio Kani, the chairman and CEO of Jera Co which is the worlds largest buyer of LNG, he is expecting a price spike again in natural gas this year due to Chinese re-opening demand, unusually war Northern Hemisphere weather increasing energy demand for cooling purposes and increased import capacity in Europe and China. Certainly, a market worth watching going forward!

The Australian Consumer Price Index (CPI) y/y was released at 6.3%, lower than the market forecast of 6.5% and from the previous data of 6.8%. With inflation growth on a clear downtrend following its peak of 8.4% in January 2023, this is likely to reduce the need for further rate increases from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). The Australian cash rate is currently at 3.60% with the RBA anticipated to keep with the previous decision of holding rates steady next Tuesday (2nd May).
While the RBA has previously indicated that some further tightening may be needed to ensure that inflation returns to target, the decision to keep interest rates at 3.60% or comments regarding a pivot in future decisions could lead to further weakening in the AUDUSD. Following the release of the CPI y/y data, the AUDUSD traded lower, breaking out of the channel, and signaling a possible continuation of the downtrend since February 2023. Additionally, with the Ichimoku cloud acting as a resistance and indicating further downside potential, the AUDUSD could trade down to retest the support level of 0.6565.
Beyond the immediate support level, the next key support level is the previous swing low at the 0.64 price area. This move lower could be driven by a further recovery in strength on the DXY and if the RBA decides to hold interest rates at 3.60%.
