ASX 200 'higher' in last four days

CommSec’s Tom Piotrowski says whether the local market can finish the month and the year off on a “solid note” will come down to the inflation figures set to come out on Wednesday.

Mr Piotrowski said in the last four days the ASX 200 has been "higher" – being up by one and a half per cent.

“We’ve equally got some important inflation numbers out of the US on Thursday," Mr Piotrowski told Sky News Australia.

“So that will be seen in the context of the moderation in CPI figures that we have seen most recently.”
