周五,澳元跌破0.64美元,触及一周低点,因全球贸易情绪改善和美国近期降息预期降低,美元走强。美元反弹之前,唐纳德·特朗普总统公布了与英国的初步贸易协议,这是自上个月美国全面征收关税以来的首次。特朗普还表示,可能会达成更多协议,并表示可能会放松对中国的关税,这取决于本周末在瑞士举行的高级别贸易谈判。澳元也面临逆风,此前美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔以通胀和就业持续存在风险为由,反对先发制人降息的想法。在国内,澳元仍面临压力,因为市场越来越重视澳大利亚储备银行在5月会议上降息25个基点,同时有迹象表明经济放缓和外部不确定性上升。
The Australian dollar fell below $0.64 on Friday, hitting a one-week low as the US dollar strengthened amid improving global trade sentiment and reduced expectations of near-term US rate cuts. The greenback’s rally followed President Donald Trump’s unveiling of a preliminary trade deal with the UK, the first since last month’s sweeping US tariffs. Trump also suggested more deals may follow and signaled a potential easing of tariffs on China, contingent on this weekend’s high-level trade talks in Switzerland. The Aussie also faced headwinds after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell pushed back against the idea of a preemptive rate cut, citing persistent risks to inflation and employment. Domestically, the Australian dollar remains under pressure as markets increasingly price in a 25 basis point rate cut by the Reserve Bank of Australia at its May meeting, amid signs of economic slowing and rising external uncertainties.
