周二，澳元小幅下跌至0.652美元左右，投资者继续权衡持续的地缘政治紧张局势。在以色列升级对伊朗首都的空袭，包括对国家媒体设施的袭击后，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普呼吁撤离德黑兰。尽管有报道称伊朗一直在紧急表示希望缓和局势并恢复核谈判，但这些袭击还是发生了。在澳大利亚，继今年早些时候两次下调现金利率之后，人们对7月份再次降息的期望越来越高，这些举措受到了财务紧张的家庭的欢迎，这些家庭仍在从近年来的高通胀中复苏。7月8日澳大利亚储备银行董事会会议上降息25个基点将使现金利率降至3.60%，这是2023年4月的最后一个水平。为了提高透明度，澳大利亚储备银行将开始披露其政策会议的投票结果，但仅限于决定不一致的情况。

The Australian dollar edged lower to around $0.652 on Tuesday, as investors continued to weigh ongoing geopolitical tensions. US President Donald Trump called for the evacuation of Tehran after Israel escalated its airstrikes on the Iranian capital, including attacks on state media facilities. These strikes occurred despite reports that Iran had been urgently signaling a desire to de-escalate and resume nuclear negotiations. In Australia, expectations are mounting for another interest rate cut in July, following two cash rate cuts earlier this year—moves welcomed by financially strained households still recovering from recent years of elevated inflation. A 25 bps cut at the RBA’s board meeting on July 8 would lower the cash rate to 3.60%, a level last seen in April 2023. In a shift toward greater transparency, the RBA will begin disclosing voting outcomes from its policy meetings—but only in cases where the decision is not unanimous.
