Economist at UOB Group Lee Sue Ann assesses the latest inflation figures in Australia and the prospects for a potential pause by the RBA of its hiking cycle.
“Australia’s headline CPI growth came in at 1.4% q/q for 1Q23, a tad higher than expectations of 1.3% q/q, but lower than the reading of 1.9% q/q in 4Q22. Compared to the same period a year ago, CPI advanced 7.0% y/y, also lower than the 7.8% y/y print in 4Q22, though still a tad higher than expectations of 6.9% y/y.”
“Underlying inflation also eased. Annual trimmed mean inflation was 6.6%, down from 6.9% in 4Q22.The trimmed mean measure rose at a slower pace of 1.2% q/q, compared to 1.7% q/q in 4Q22. The strength of the underlying inflation was also evident in the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA)’s weighted median CPI, which was up 1.2% q/q, but down from the previous reading of 1.6% q/q.”
“Following today’s inflation figures, the RBA is likely to remain on the sidelines at the upcoming monetary policy meeting on 2 May. As such, we continue to see the current 3.60% cash rate as the likely peak. Focus will nonetheless continue to be on incoming economic data, including 1Q23 wage price index (17 May), followed by Apr employment (18 May).”

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
