Australia’s 10-year government bond yield held its recent decline to around 4.9%, below a nine-week high reached on July 24, as investors continued to assess the policy outlook ahead of the Reserve Bank of Australia’s meeting next week. Latest data showed household spending rose 0.8% in June, well above forecasts of 0.2%, driven by another increase in discretionary spending, while annual growth accelerated to 6.0%, also exceeding expectations. The data supported the Reserve Bank’s view that consumer activity remains firm despite weak sentiment, although recent softer inflation and a cooling housing market have strengthened expectations that the central bank will leave its 4.35% cash rate unchanged next week. Markets are also pricing little chance of a rate hike in September, while assigning roughly a 50% probability of a move in November if third-quarter inflation proves stronger. Investors now await upcoming trade balance figures this week for further clues on the economy’s health.
