周四,澳元在前一交易日上涨的基础上上涨至0.660美元左右,通胀预期上升强化了澳大利亚储备银行的鹰派立场。消费者通胀预期从9月的4.7%升至2025年10月的4.8%,为6月以来的最高水平,因为人们担心第三季度通胀可能超过预期。受补贴减少、劳动力成本上升以及全球贸易和大宗商品压力的推动,价格上涨加剧了价格压力挥之不去的迹象。这强化了央行的谨慎立场,由于持续的通货膨胀和劳动力市场紧张,预计央行在9月份将政策利率保持在3.6%后将保持稳定。与此同时,美元走强限制了上行空间,因为投资者继续权衡持续的政府关门的影响,这刺激了避险需求。市场现在等待美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔今天晚些时候的评论,此前联邦公开市场委员会会议对未来的利率走势显示出喜忧参半的看法。
The Australian dollar rose to around $0.660 on Thursday, building on the prior session’s gains, as higher inflation expectations reinforced the Reserve Bank of Australia's hawkish stance. Consumer inflation expectations rose to 4.8% in October 2025 from 4.7% in September, the highest since June, amid concerns that Q3 inflation could surpass forecasts. The uptick, driven by the rollback of subsidies, elevated labor costs, and global trade and commodity pressures, adds to signs of lingering price pressures. This reinforces the central bank’s cautious stance, which is expected to hold its policy rate steady after keeping it at 3.6% in September, citing persistent inflation and a tight labor market. Meanwhile, upside was capped by a firmer US dollar as investors continued to weigh the impact of the ongoing government shutdown, which fueled safe-haven demand. Markets now await comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell later today after the FOMC meeting showed mixed views on future rate moves.
