周三,澳元在上一交易日下跌0.5%后,几乎没有变化,跌至0.652美元左右,因为美元的强势抵消了乐观的国内GDP数据。在全球经济不确定性、贸易紧张局势加剧和地缘政治风险的背景下,美元保持坚挺,受到避险需求的支撑,而对主要经济体债务负担上升的担忧进一步支撑了对美元的兴趣。在国内方面,澳大利亚经济在第二季度增长了0.6%,超过了预期的0.5%,并从第一季度修正后的0.3%开始加速,标志着连续第15个季度增长。年度GDP也增长了1.8%,为2023年第三季度以来的最快增速,尽管投资者对前景仍持谨慎态度,市场互换显示,澳大利亚储备银行本月晚些时候保持利率稳定的可能性超过80%。在其他地方,中国代理澳元也得到了中国服务业数据走强的支撑,攀升至15个月来的最高点,表明该地区的需求具有弹性。
The Australian dollar was little changed to around $0.652 on Wednesday, after a 0.5% drop in the previous session, as strength in the US dollar offset upbeat domestic GDP data. The greenback held firm, supported by safe-haven demand amid global economic uncertainty, renewed trade tensions, and geopolitical risks, while concerns over rising debt burdens across major economies further supported appetite for the dollar. On the domestic front, Australia’s economy grew 0.6% in Q2, surpassing expectations of 0.5% and accelerating from a revised 0.3% in Q1, marking the 15th straight quarter of growth. Annual GDP also rose 1.8%, the fastest since Q3 2023, though investors remained cautious on the outlook, with market swaps showing over an 80% chance the Reserve Bank of Australia will hold rates steady later this month. Elsewhere, the China-proxy Aussie also found support from stronger Chinese services data, climbing to its highest in 15 months and pointing to resilient demand in the region.
