In this week’s Monday Market Highlights, Investment Analyst Kate Power discusses the US CPI print, which was lower than expected, along with headline inflation which fell 0.1% month-on-month. Closer to home, the RBNZ kept the cash rate steady 5.50% but signalled a shift towards easing monetary policy.

In equity news, Kate covers Telstra, and the US second quarter earnings season kick-off, with PepsiCo and Delta Air results. She also looks into US banks JP Morgan, Wells Fargo and Citigroup.
