周五,澳元兑美元汇率保持在0.65美元左右,表明市场对PMI数据喜忧参半的反应较为温和。11月,澳大利亚制造业活动连续第10个月收缩,尽管下降速度放缓至六个月来的最低水平。与此同时,服务业活动十个月来首次出现收缩。尽管数据喜忧参半,但澳元仍受到澳大利亚储备银行货币政策鹰派前景的支撑。澳大利亚储备银行11月会议的纪要突显了央行对通胀的持续谨慎,强调在通胀明确达到目标之前,货币政策应保持限制性。然而,澳大利亚储备银行指出,未来的政策调整将取决于即将公布的经济数据。
The Australian dollar remained around $0.65 on Friday, showing a muted market reaction to mixed PMI data. Manufacturing activity in Australia continued to contract for the 10th consecutive month in November, although the pace of decline slowed to its weakest rate in six months. Meanwhile, services activity shifted into contraction for the first time in ten months. Despite the mixed data, the Aussie dollar remained supported by a hawkish outlook on the Reserve Bank of Australia’s monetary policy. The minutes from the RBA’s November meeting highlighted the central bank's ongoing caution regarding inflation, emphasizing that monetary policy should remain restrictive until inflation is on a clear path to the target. However, the RBA noted that future policy adjustments would depend on incoming economic data.
