DYAX 전담 분석
Australia's Q3 quarterly CPI rose by 1.3% and recorded 3.9% annually, meeting expectations, but core price pressures continue to stimulate the RBA's target levels. This highlights concerns over additional tightening, directly impacting the short-term interest rate path.
The bullish scenario is a rate freeze and a rebound in growth stocks driven by confidence in slowing inflation, while the bearish scenario is the pressure for additional rate hikes by the RBA due to a rebound in prices. Key indicators to watch are the upcoming RBA rate decision and monthly CPI components.
