周四,澳元攀升至0.63美元以上,扭转了前一交易日的跌幅,因为唐纳德·特朗普总统宣布对汽车进口征收25%的关税后,美元走弱。特朗普还证实,即将到来的互惠关税将在他的第二任期内保持不变,加剧了人们对报复和更广泛的经济中断的担忧,导致货币市场波动加剧。与此同时,周三的数据显示,澳大利亚2月份的月度CPI指标降至2.4%的三个月低点,超出了1月份2.5%不变的预期。展望未来,澳大利亚储备银行将于下周召开会议,市场普遍预计其将保持利率稳定。然而,交易员们预计,在澳大利亚储备银行上个月四年多来首次降息后,5月份再次降息的可能性为三分之二。
The Australian dollar climbed past $0.63 on Thursday, reversing losses from the previous session as the US dollar weakened following President Donald Trump’s announcement of 25% tariffs on car imports. Trump also confirmed that upcoming reciprocal tariffs would remain in place throughout his second term, fueling fears of retaliation and broader economic disruptions, leading to increased currency market volatility. Meanwhile, data on Wednesday showed that Australia’s monthly CPI indicator eased to a three-month low of 2.4% in February, defying expectations for no change from January’s 2.5% reading. Looking ahead, the Reserve Bank of Australia is set to meet next week, with markets widely expecting it to hold interest rates steady. However, traders are pricing in a two-thirds chance of another rate cut in May, following the RBA’s first reduction in over four years last month.
