Australia's supply chain professionals face intensifying cost pass-through as the May inflation reading is set to show trimmed mean rising to 3.5%. Despite falling oil prices, lagged energy and fertiliser costs are pushing up perishable goods like milk, revealing deep-seated logistics inflation that will linger even if the Strait of Hormuz reopens.
With May inflation data expected to show headline easing to 4.1% but core rising to 3.5%, Australian retailers confront a mixed bag: lower fuel costs at the pump but accelerating food prices. Milk, fruits, and vegetables are set to record above-normal increases, squeezing household budgets and retailer margins alike.
Energy markets are sending mixed signals: oil prices have fallen to March lows even as the Strait of Hormuz closure disrupted supply, with a tentative truce now allowing more transits. The 12.3% monthly fuel price drop will cool headline inflation but the lagged energy shock continues to push up food and transport costs, highlighting the complex energy transition backdrop.
