澳大利亚10年期政府债券收益率保持在4.26%左右,投资者权衡了特朗普总统对美联储再次批评带来的风险。周一,特朗普加大了对美联储主席鲍威尔的压力,此前官员们表示他可能会被免职,这引发了人们对美联储独立性的担忧。这一点,再加上美国贸易政策的持续不确定性,增加了投资者的谨慎。与此同时,交易员越来越期待澳大利亚储备银行在5月份的会议上降息。尽管普遍预计将降息25个基点,但随着对贸易紧张局势导致的全球经济放缓的担忧日益加剧,一些人预计将采取更激进的50个基点的举措。投资者正在等待澳大利亚即将公布的PMI数据,以进一步了解国内经济前景。
Australia’s 10-year government bond yield held around 4.26% as investors weighed risks stemming from President Trump’s renewed criticism of the Federal Reserve. On Monday, Trump increased pressure on Fed Chair Powell after officials suggested he might be removed, raising concerns about the central bank's independence. This, combined with ongoing uncertainty over US trade policies, added to investor caution. Meanwhile, traders are increasingly anticipating an interest rate cut by the Reserve Bank of Australia at its May meeting. While a 25 basis-point cut is widely expected, some are pricing in a more aggressive 50 basis-point move amid growing fears of a global slowdown driven by trade tensions. Investors are now awaiting Australia’s upcoming PMI data for further insight into the domestic economic outlook.
