Australia’s consumer inflation expectations, as measured by the Melbourne Institute (MI), remained unchanged in November 2026, holding at 5.3%. The reading matches October’s 5.3% result, indicating that households’ views on future price growth have stabilized for a second consecutive month.
The flat reading suggests that, at least for now, expectations are neither accelerating nor easing, offering a degree of short-term predictability for policymakers and markets. With the November data updated as of 12 November 2026, investors and analysts will be watching subsequent releases closely to see whether this stability persists or gives way to renewed shifts in sentiment around inflation pressures in Australia.
