澳大利亚家庭支出在12月下降0.4%,因为消费者早先购买供销售,从而缓解了对通货膨胀的担忧。 Australian household spending dipped 0.4% in December as consumers bought earlier for sales, easing inflation concerns.

澳大利亚家庭支出在10月和11月增长后,12月下降了0.4%,澳大利亚统计局将下降归因于消费者提前转移购买,利用黑星期五等销售机会。 Household spending in Australia fell 0.4% in December, following increases in October and November, with the Australian Bureau of Statistics attributing the drop to consumers shifting purchases earlier to take advantage of sales like Black Friday. 支出的这种冷却缓解了对通货膨胀的顾虑,并可能减少澳大利亚储备银行进一步提高利率的需要,因为澳大利亚储备银行由于需求强劲和通货膨胀上升,在两年多的时间内于2月首次提高了现金利率。 This cooling in spending eases inflation concerns and may reduce the need for further interest rate hikes by the Reserve Bank of Australia, which previously raised the cash rate in February for the first time in over two years due to strong demand and rising inflation. 尽管每月出现下降,但基本需求仍然具有弹性,季度销售量上升,促进国内生产总值增长。 Despite the monthly dip, underlying demand remains resilient, with quarterly sales volumes rising and contributing to GDP growth.
