澳大利亚10年期政府债券收益率降至4.51%左右,反映出美国总统唐纳德·特朗普敦促美联储降低利率后,美国债券收益率略有下降。投资者也在寻求进一步明确特朗普的关税计划,因为他备受期待的关税公告在就职典礼后未能实现。在澳大利亚,交易员仍在押注储备银行将在2月份的会议上将4.35%的现金利率下调25个基点。市场注意力现在转向下周公布的第四季度通胀数据,这将为澳大利亚储备银行的货币政策立场提供更多线索。潜在通胀的降温将巩固人们对央行下个月降息的预期。在经济新闻方面,澳大利亚1月份的商业活动略有上升(50.3比12月的50.2),因为服务业活动继续增长,尽管速度较慢,而制造业接近稳定。
Australia’s 10-year government bond yield fell to around 4.51%, mirroring a slight dip in U.S. bond yields after remarks from President Donald Trump urging the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates. Investors are also seeking further clarity on Trump’s tariff plans, as his widely anticipated tariff announcements failed to materialize following his inauguration. In Australia, traders are still wagering the Reserve Bank will cut its 4.35% cash rate by 25bps at its meeting in February. Market attention is now turning to the fourth-quarter inflation data due next week that would provide more clues on the RBA’s monetary policy stance. A cooling in underlying inflation would cement expectations for the central bank to cut rates next month. In economic news, Australia’s business activity rose marginally in January (50.3 vs 50.2 in December), as services activity continued to rise, albeit at a slower pace, while the manufacturing sector nears stabilization.
