周二,澳元贬值至0.656美元以上,跌至三个月来的最低水平,因为人们预计,在特朗普总统任期内,美国经济表现优异和激进的贸易行为可能会推高通胀,美元继续占据主导地位。此外,疲软的经济数据和主要贸易伙伴中国令人失望的刺激计划进一步增加了压力。澳元通常被视为人民币的流动性代表,其下跌反映了人们对中国经济前景的持续担忧。在国内,11月澳大利亚消费者信心飙升至两年半高点,这得益于对加息担忧的缓解,而商业信心在10月达到近两年的峰值。投资者现在正关注周三的第三季度工资数据和周四的月度就业报告,以进一步了解劳动力市场的实力。
The Australian dollar depreciated past $0.656 on Tuesday, sliding toward its weakest levels in three months as the greenback continued to dominate on expectations that US economic outperformance and aggressive trade practices under a Trump presidency could drive up inflation. Additionally, weak economic data and a disappointing stimulus package from China, a key trading partner, added further pressure. The Australian dollar is often seen as a liquid proxy for the Chinese yuan, and its decline reflects ongoing concerns about China’s economic outlook. Domestically, Australia's consumer confidence surged to a two-and-a-half-year high in November, supported by easing worries over interest rate hikes, while business confidence reached a near two-year peak in October. Investors are now eyeing third-quarter wages figures on Wednesday and the monthly jobs report on Thursday, for further clues on the strength of the labor market.
