AU每周总结 | 澳交所200指数周末以1.1%的下跌收官； 只有科技和原材料板块熠熠生辉

Australia’s inflation rate has dropped to 2.8% in the third quarter, aligning with the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) target band of 2% to 3% for the first time since mid-2021, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. However, this decline is primarily supported by temporary factors, such as government rebates aimed at mitigating the impact of increased power prices on households. The central bank is likely to concentrate on core inflation, which, although reduced to 3.5% from 4.0% in the previous quarter, remains above the target range. The RBA has indicated that all policy options remain viable due to persistent inflationary pressures and robust employment growth that has consistently exceeded expectations throughout the year.
