如果12月的消费物价指数数据显示通货膨胀低于预测,非洲区域局可能在2月降低利率。 RBA may cut interest rates in February if December CPI data shows inflation below forecasts.

澳大利亚储备银行可能于2月降低利率,这取决于澳大利亚统计局(ABS)12月季度消费物价指数更新的通货膨胀数据。 The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) may cut interest rates in February, depending on the upcoming inflation data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics' (ABS) December quarterly consumer price index (CPI) update. 据ANZ的经济学家预测,季度平均通胀率将在季度中达到0.5%,使得年均通胀率达到3.2%,低于RBA预测的3.4%. Economists at ANZ predict the trimmed mean inflation will be 0.5% quarter-on-quarter, leading to an annual figure of 3.2%, below the RBA's forecast of 3.4%. 这可能会促使降息, 尽管NAB经济学家建议RBA可能会等到5月份评估劳动力市场和经济活动. This could prompt rate cuts, though NAB economists suggest the RBA might wait until May to assess the labor market and economic activity.
