周三,澳元稳定在0.650美元左右,停止了前一交易日的上涨,因为投资者消化了包括强于预期的通胀印刷在内的新数据。数据显示,7月份消费者价格同比上涨2.8%,高于6月份的1.9%,也高于市场预测的2.3%。此外,核心指标有所回升,削减后的平均值从2.1%上升到2.7%,不包括波动性项目和假日旅行的通货膨胀率从2.5%上升到3.2%。已完成的建筑工程也意外上涨,第二季度上涨3%,而预期为0.8%,而西太平洋银行领先指数在7月份小幅上涨0.1%,表明增长缓慢,复苏缓慢,直至2026年。尽管如此,随着美元收复失地,澳元仍面临压力,而在美国总统特朗普威胁称,如果北京限制磁铁出口,将对中国商品征收200%的关税后,全球情绪保持谨慎。尽管CPI系列波动,市场仍相信澳大利亚储备银行将在11月降息。
The Australian dollar held steady to around $0.650 on Wednesday, halting gains from the previous session, as investors digested fresh data including stronger-than-expected inflation print. Data showed consumer prices jumped 2.8% year-on-year in July, up from 1.9% in June and above market forecasts of 2.3%. Additionally, core measures picked up, with the trimmed mean rising to 2.7% from 2.1% and inflation excluding volatile items and holiday travel climbing to 3.2% from 2.5%. Construction work done, also surprised to the upside, rising 3% in Q2 against expectations of 0.8%, while the Westpac Leading Index edged up 0.1% in July, pointing to sluggish growth and a slow recovery into 2026. Still, the Aussie faced pressure as the US dollar regained ground, while global sentiment stayed cautious after US President Trump threatened 200% tariffs on Chinese goods if Beijing restricted magnet exports. Markets remain confident the RBA will cut rates in November despite the volatile CPI series.
