周二,澳元在连续两个交易日上涨后稳定在0.652美元左右,投资者消化了澳大利亚储备银行会议的最新纪要。央行在四次会议上考虑了第三次降息,但选择保持稳定,认为这与其谨慎的宽松战略不一致。大多数成员赞成在采取进一步行动之前等待通胀可持续恢复到目标水平的更具体迹象,而少数成员则支持由于全球和国内增长风险而削减通胀。尽管如此,市场现在认为8月12日政策会议降息的可能性为91%。与此同时,澳大利亚和美国之间的贸易关系仍在接受审查,因为澳大利亚总理安东尼·阿尔巴内塞淡化了对未与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普会晤的担忧。他强调,没有其他国家能与现任政府获得更有利的贸易条件,同时重申澳大利亚重视伙伴关系中的相互尊重。
The Australian dollar steadied around $0.652 on Tuesday, following two consecutive sessions of gains, as investors digested the latest minutes from the RBA's meeting. The central bank considered a third rate cut in four meetings but chose to hold steady, deeming it inconsistent with its cautious easing strategy. Most members favored waiting for more concrete signs that inflation was sustainably returning to target before taking further action, while a minority supported a cut due to global and domestic growth risks. Nevertheless, markets now see a 91% probability of a rate cut on August 12 policy meeting. Meanwhile, trade relations between Australia and the US remain under scrutiny, as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese downplayed concerns over the absence of a meeting with US President Donald Trump. He emphasized that no other country has secured more favorable trade terms with the current administration, while reiterating that Australia values mutual respect in its partnerships.
