澳元涨跌互现,CPI未能保证澳大利亚储备银行加息。澳大利亚的季度CPI报告将通货膨胀率保持在澳大利亚储备银行的目标区间之上,但还不足以令人信服地锁定2月份的加息。虽然削减后的平均通胀率仍然高得令人不安,但债券市场和澳元都表示了一定程度的怀疑,表明数据未能实质性地改变政策预期。

While trimmed mean inflation remains uncomfortably high, bond markets and the Australian dollar both signalled a degree of scepticism, suggesting the data failed to materially shift policy expectations.
