In macroeconomy, the lending indicators and wage price index reports are due at 11:30 am Sydney time.

In corporate news, Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX:CBA) reported Wednesday fiscal second-half cash earnings of AU$3.058 per share on revenue of AU$14.37 billion, compared with cash earnings of AU$2.874 on revenue of AU$13.53 billion a year earlier.
