澳大利亚使用能力在12月略有下降,但仍高于平均水平,通货膨胀数据正在逼近。 Australian capacity use dipped slightly in December but remains above average, with inflation data looming.

根据NAB每月商业调查,澳大利亚企业的生产能力利用率在12月略有下降,降至83.2%,比11月下降了0.3个百分点。 According to NAB's monthly business survey, capacity utilization for Australian businesses decreased slightly in December, falling to 83.2%, down 0.3 percentage points from November. 8个行业中,有5个仍然高于历史标准,这表明生产压力继续存在,尽管产量下降,但水平仍然高于长期平均水平。 Five out of eight industries are still operating above historical norms, indicating continued production pressure, and the level is still above the long-term average despite the decline. 尽管使用能力略有减缓,澳大利亚储备银行预计将集中处理星期三到期的通货膨胀数据。 Regardless of the slight slowdown in capacity use, the Reserve Bank of Australia is anticipated to concentrate on the inflation data that is due on Wednesday. 如果价格压力维持在高水平,这仍然可能导致利率上升。 If price pressures stay high, this could still lead to a rate hike.
