澳大利亚10年期债券收益率升至4.18%左右,接近近两周来的最高水平,这得益于对澳大利亚储备银行近期即将降息的疑虑加剧。州长米歇尔·布洛克淡化了最近失业率的上升,并强调了委员会的谨慎态度,指出澳大利亚的劳动力市场仍然紧张,通货膨胀持续存在,这表明在今年早些时候三次降息后,进一步放宽货币政策的门槛更高。市场现在认为,在澳大利亚储备银行11月4日的会议上,3.6%的现金利率下调25个基点的可能性约为40%,低于周一早些时候的60%,而预计到2月仍将全面降息。投资者现在正关注9月份的CPI报告和本周晚些时候即将公布的第三季度通胀数据,以了解货币政策的更多线索。8月份的数据显示,通胀率为2024年7月以来的最高水平。
Australia’s 10-year bond yield rose to around 4.18%, near its highest level in almost two weeks, supported by rising doubts over an imminent near-term RBA rate cut. Governor Michele Bullock downplayed the recent rise in unemployment and stressed the board’s cautious approach, noting that Australia’s labor market remains tight and inflation persistent, suggesting a higher threshold for further monetary easing after three rate cuts earlier this year. Markets now assign roughly a 40% chance of a 25-basis-point cut to the 3.6% cash rate at the RBA’s November 4 meeting, down from 60% earlier Monday, while a full rate reduction is still expected by February. Investors are now focusing on September’s CPI report and the upcoming Q3 inflation data later this week for additional clues into monetary policy, following August’s reading, which showed the highest inflation since July 2024.
