澳大利亚10年期政府债券收益率在上一交易日触及七周高点后跌至4.41%,投资者将注意力转向即将公布的就业数据。市场预计将增加2万个工作岗位,失业率稳定在4.1%。劳动力市场保持了令人惊讶的弹性,这促成了澳大利亚储备银行对货币宽松政策的谨慎立场。上周,澳大利亚储备银行将现金利率稳定在3.85%,将宽松至3.60%的押注混淆了。目前,市场预计8月份降息的可能性为80%,尽管这在很大程度上取决于7月底发布的第二季度CPI报告。与此同时,在美国,数据显示,6月份消费者通胀率升至四个月高点,导致交易员降低了对美联储近期降息的预期。
Australia’s 10-year government bond yield fell toward 4.41% after hitting an over seven-week high in the previous session, as investors turned their focus to upcoming jobs data. Market expectations are centered on an increase of 20,000 jobs and a steady unemployment rate of 4.1%. The labor market has remained surprisingly resilient, which has contributed to the RBA’s cautious stance on monetary easing. Last week, the RBA held its cash rate steady at 3.85%, confounding wagers for an easing to 3.60%. Currently, markets are pricing in an 80% chance of a rate cut in August, though much will depend on the second-quarter CPI report due at the end of July. Meanwhile, in the US, data showed that consumer inflation rose to a four-month high in June, leading traders to scale back expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts in the near term.
