澳大利亚储备银行将现金利率上调至3.85%,警告通胀将在一段时间内保持在目标之上。正如普遍预期的那样,澳大利亚储备银行MPB在2月份的会议上将现金利率上调0.25个百分点至3.85%。最近公布的基础通胀数据过于强劲,MPB无法忽视,特别是考虑到私营部门需求的增长强于预期,而之前劳动力市场的逐步宽松似乎已经暂停甚至停止到年底。
RBA Raises Cash Rate to 3.85%, Warning Inflation Will Remain Above Target for Some Time.As was widely expected, the RBA MPB raised the cash rate 0.25ppts to 3.85% at its February meeting.
